Thank you Edward. I managed to build from HEAD under Fedora 21 (after 'cabal install containers').
The errors I reported may be related to the way I tried to clone a particular branch: git clone -b ghc-7.8 git://github.com/ghc/ghc.git It is not clear how to checkout/build/package a particular version of ghc for Fedora 21.
