Task :installDependenciesEta FAILED when building statistics-0.15.2.0 from Hackage

Description

When Eta tries to build and install the dependency, 'statistics:0.15.2.0', it suddenly went into panic while building the library for math-functions-0.3.3.0.

Eta then exited the build process with an exception.

Expected Behavior

Successful build and installation of the statistics-0.15.2.0 package.

Actual Behavior

The dependency build process failed at step 7 when building the library for math-functions-0.3.3.0.

The information provided by Eta is as follows:

[ 6 of 11] Compiling Numeric.Series
[ 7 of 11] Compiling Numeric.SpecFunctions.Compateta: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(Eta version 0.8.6b5):
tcCheckFIType: Unsupported calling convention.
ccall unsafe "value erfc"

Please report this as a Eta bug: http://github.com/typelead/eta/issues

statistics-0.15.2.0). See the build log above for details.

I am afraid the package contains foreign calls to c functions (ccall unsafe...)
One way to make the package work with eta is replace the c calls with java ones and upload the patch to the set of patches in eta-hackage https://github.com/typelead/eta-hackage
