 I got the following error message:


 {{{
     ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
       (GHC version 8.2.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
         tcIfaceGlobal (local): not found
       You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
       While forcing the thunk for TyThing Layout
       which was lazily initialized by initIfaceCheck typecheckLoop,
       I tried to tie the knot, but I couldn't find Layout
       in the current type environment.
       If you are developing GHC, please read Note [Tying the knot]
       and Note [Type-checking inside the knot].
       Consider rebuilding GHC with profiling for a better stack trace.
       Contents of current type environment: []

 A self-contained Stack project that demonstrates the problem is attached.
 I'm using Stack Version 1.6.3 x86_64 hpack-0.20.0
