Hi everyone,

one of the current Haskell release transitions blocker is the removal of
some obsolete Haskell libraries, in particular haskell-tls-extra
(https://bugs.debian.org/741230).

According to "dak rm -R -n haskell-tls-extra" this blocked by left over
packages depending on it on sparc. The root of the cause is a failure of
haskell-tls to build on sparc:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=haskell-tls&arch=sparc

Hi Joachim,

I'd like to look into the TLS failures. Bus errors usually mean "misaligned data" which aren't very difficult to fix once you see the source code. Is there a bug report for the SPARC failure? Help me reproduce it on my local machine and I think I should be able to fix it soon!
