 After building GHC HEAD using a `mk/build.mk` file with the following
 settings:

 {{{
 BuildFlavour = prof
 GhcStage2HcOpts    = -O0 $(GhcFAsm) -fprof-auto -DDEBUG
 }}}

 I find myself knee-deep in segfault town:

 {{{
 $ inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --interactive
 GHCi, version 8.3.20170726: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)
 }}}

 Welp.

 Here's what happens when I run it through `gdb`:
