GHC 7.10.2 takes much longer to compile some packages

If we compile the iproute package by GHC, GHC 7.10.2 take much longer than GHC 7.8.4. See the report from Travis CI:

https://travis-ci.org/kazu-yamamoto/iproute/builds/77427248

I can reproduce this on my local MacBookAir:

  • GHC 7.8.4: cabal build 8.81s user 0.94s system 103% cpu 9.430 total
  • GHC 7.10.2: cabal build 37.86s user 3.49s system 98% cpu 42.066 total
