Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
geodetics-0.0.4 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

Similarity to #10602 (closed) and #9160 (closed) has been pointed out. I also tried:

% cabal --ghc-options="-O2" install geodetics-0.0.4

with no difference in the crash outcome.
