Comment (by jscholl):

 It seems to work. I added a pass before generating byte-code which
 transforms the unboxed tuples and now ghci works again.

 I am validating right now, but stage2 was working, so this should pass,
 too. So to let you review my changes, I have to ask: Should I include
 changes made to submodules or just include the changes to GHC?
