[Nix-dev] nix-build taking forever

[roconnor at theorem.ca]

Can anyone confirm that using nix-build to build any haskell package takes 
forever, while nix-env -i works fine?

e.g. nix-build /etc/nixos/nixpkgs -Anixpkgs_sys.haskellPackages.colour -v

runs until  evaluating file `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/gmp'

and then appears to hang.
