I know Arm is not a tier 1 platform, but I think #10375 is rather 
important.

The problem is that in ghci the following two statements:

     data X = Y deriving Eq
     Y == Y

will cause ghci to segfault. I've done some work debugging this, but
it has proved rather elusive.

This is a major regression with respect to ghc 7.8.

Cheers,
Erik
