MacPorts automatically adds a build dependency on the compiler it uses, if that
compiler comes from MacPorts and if that dependency has not already been added,
so having already specified the compiler whitelist you don't then also need to
add the build dependency. Though you do of course need the runtime dependency,
as you have it, for reasons specific to ghc.
So, now ghc requires both llvm-3.5 and llvm-4.0? Seems excessive. Could it be
fixed to need only a single version of llvm?
