 * os:  MacOS X => Unknown/Multiple


Comment:

 This is not an OS X-exclusive error, as you can trigger it with any GHC
 build that has `DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS=YES`. For instance, on Linux:

 {{{
 $ ghci -L/usr/lib/llvm-3.9/lib -lLLVMBPFCodeGen
 GHCi, version 8.0.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 8.0.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
         Loading archives not supported

 Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
 }}}
