unfortunately, I don’t see a good way out either. I believe someone was
recently working on a fast implementation of Integer in pure Haskell,
but I’d be very wary to to diverge from upstream GHC in such central
matters:
http://www.mega-nerd.com/erikd/Blog/CodeHacking/Haskell/integer_pt1.html

Erik, what is the status of this project?

I think this should be discussed with upstream at glasgow-haskell-users,
as the problem is not Debian specific (unless I’m mistaken).

But in any case I don’t see this being fixed on the GHC side until 7.10
(at the earliest, if people help with Erik’s effort and this makes it
into the compiler). Maybe we should consider your first option (linking
tls against OpenSSL), after a license analysis of the packages we
include in Debian. Would you see if that compiles and works for you? And
what about libcurl4-nss-dev?

Greetings,
Joachim
