Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ghc6
I have installed ghc6 and ghc6-prof on an updated Hardy Heron.
However, when I configure anything which uses the GHC API, or uses
something which eventually uses the GHC API, compilation fails because
no profiled GHC library is available. That is, there is no libHSghc_p.a,
although there is a libHSghc.a
So the failure looks like:

Perhaps you haven't installed the profiling libraries for package
ghc-6.8.2?
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
The GHC API is used by a number of things (Yi, Haddock, eventually
Lambdabot, Hint, Mueval, and so on), and some of them I'd like to be
able to profile. It's an unfortunate omission.
(I understand that this would require a slight modification to the build
process of the original GHC, according to
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/As_a_library#Profiling .)
