    # Follow the nixpkgs from ghc.nix. Rationale:

    # The glibc that is used to build the custom GHC should be the same as the
    # one here, otherwise we will encounter glibc version mismatch errors when
    # building packages that depend on glibc (even transitively).
    #
    # Because ghc.nix is a popular tool for building GHC with nix, it is
    # sensible to use the same glibc.
    #
    # Note this means that this input should generally be upgraded whenever
    # ghc.nix is.

      # - grisette: Depends on sbv

      # - sbv: Builds with the nix-provided GHC in the .#with-ghc shell, but
      #        fails with a custom built GHC (e.g. building via ghc.nix).
      #        Possibly due to the combination of Nix + TH + C.

      # - simple-pango: Strangely this appears to work with a custom GHC but
      #                 not with the one provided by nixpkgs.
