Did you check whether it helps in the case of haskell-src-exts, i.e. whether all builds fail when building the -prof package, and not already when building the -dev package? There is nothing inherently special about the -prof packages, besides the fact that ghc6 needs more memory. The cause is probably http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4074 which is fixed upstream. It could be ported to ghc6-6.12, but it is not clear if this is a good idea before the release. Probably removing the -prof package is worth a try.
