Is this during the stage1 build or stage2? Just a few lines of the surrounding build output would be helpful.

Hmm, presumably it fails since the array in question is static? On
looking into this I realized that apparently VLAs have been made
optional in C11, so perhaps we should be more conservative in using
them, especially in hsc2hs.

getProcessCPUTime is a function provided by GHC's runtime system.
I believe the issue here is that the build system (rts/ghc.mk) chooses
which implementation to use based upon the host operating system. This
seems wrong. Then again, if this is wrong I don't see how
cross-compilation ever actually worked. Surely I'm missing something
here.
