epollCreate: unsupported operation (Function not implemented)

When building ghc-7 for Debian, and we are not hit by a linker error related to pthread and the unix package, compiling anything fails with this error:

epollCreate: unsupported operation (Function not implemented)

(from https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=ghc&arch=i386&ver=7.0.2-2&stamp=1299583867&file=log&as=raw). It is not very reproducible, though – never happened on my laptop (amd64), and this build on i386, using 7.0.1, worked: https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=ghc&arch=i386&ver=7.0.2-1&stamp=1299522621&file=log&as=raw

Happens (at least) on amd64 and i386 on Linux.
