Comment (by crockeea):

 I'm also experiencing this problem. The problem affects GHC 7.8.2 and
 GHCi. I'm loading files using:

     : ghci[i] Foo Objects/*.o

 which fails:

     ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
      (GHC version 7.8.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
         Loading temp shared object failed: /tmp/ghc20682_0/ghc20682_3.so:
 undefined symbol: foo

 If I explicitly list out each object file in the "correct" order, I can
 get GHC to compile.
