[Agda] problems installing agda master using stack

[Martin Stone Davis]

I am trying and failing to build the latest agda (on the master branch). 
My platform is parabola, which is an arch clone. A while back, I had 
been able to use cabal install, but when that went south for some 
reason, I hit upon using stack. Unfortunately, that also is not working 
for me anymore. Hopefully, this is the right place to report this, or 
you can direct me to the proper authorities.

I'm using stack Version 1.6.0.20171022 x86_64

Here's the command I am using for stack:

stack --stack-yaml stack-8.0.2.yaml install

And here's the error:
