I don’t know whether some recent updated to another port that previously didn’t
depend on it now does, but here’s what it is, and below, what depends on it.
sh-3.2$ port info ghc
ghc @9.4.4_1 (lang, haskell)
Sub-ports: ghc-prebuilt, hadrian
Variants: prebuilt, universal
Description: The Glasgow Haskell Compiler is a robust, fully-featured,
optimising compiler and interactive environment for
Haskell 98, GHC compiles Haskell to either native code or
C. It implements numerous experimental language extensions
to Haskell 98, for example: concurrency, a foreign
language interface, multi-parameter type classes, scoped
type variables, existential and universal quantification,
unboxed types, exceptions, weak pointers, and so on. GHC
comes with a generational garbage collector, and a space
and time profiler.
