Comment (by simonpj):

 Since I can't reproduce this, can you try some experiments for me?

  * Once the crash happens, copy/paste and re-run the last command line of
 the log.  In the log you uploaded in comment 24, this was
 {{{
 "inplace/bin/ghc-stage1" -hisuf hi -osuf  o -hcsuf hc -static  -H32m -O
 -package-name base-4.7.0.0 -hide-all-packages -i -ilibraries/base/.

 install/build/Control/Applicative.o -dyno libraries/base/dist-
 install/build/Control/Applicative.dyn_o
 }}}
   Does re-running that one line crash in the same way?  I hope so!

  * Re-run that same command again, this time adding `-ddump-if-trace` to
 the end of the command line, and upload the result.

  * Does `libraries/base/dist-install/build/Control/Applicative.hi` exist?
 Do an `ls -l` on that directory so we can see the timestamps.

 Thanks

 Simon
