I work on a Haskell library interfacing with foreign C++ library. While
trying to use it in GHCi on Windows 8.1 64bit, I encountered an error
message that said:
{{{
<loading other libraries>
Loading package library-0.1.0.0 ... <interactive>: Unknown PEi386 section
name `
.text$_ZNSt6vectorIcSaIcEED1Ev' (while processing: c:\path\to\file.o)
ghc.exe: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 7.8.3 for i386-unknown-mingw32):
loadObj "C:\\path\\to\\file.o": failed

}}}
I've prepared a minimal example triggering this bug and attached it to
this bug report. On Linux (Arch 64bit), after cabal build and cabal repl
it behaves as intended:
{{{
GHCi, version 7.8.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help

Loading object (static) dist/build/cbits/ex.o ... done
final link ... done

Ok, modules loaded: Example.
λ: foo

}}}
However, on Windows 8.1 it crashes while loading object file:
{{{

}}}
Crashing in GHCi means that I cannot use it with programs that contain TH
splices, what is important for me.
