Comment (by ohho):

 I rebuilt GHC 8.2.1 from source, it worked.\\
 So I guess there might be some problem in the released binary package.

 Since it's an unofficial build, I am not sure if I could use it in
 production, especial after seeing some test failures. (I am fairly new to
 GHC building & testing)
