I was never able to reproduce the problem.  It seems like it failed on
the first ports build run after I replaced the CPU.  When I upgraded the
OS and ports, the build succeeded.  I tried going back to much earlier
OS and ports versions, but I could never get the ghc build to fail
again.  I'm baffled by this ...
