Comment:

 Note that the `ANN` is not critical to reproduce this bug. You can just as
 well remove it and instead load `app.hs` with `ghci` to trigger the bug as
 well:

 {{{
 $ ghci -ladd -L. app.hs
 GHCi, version 8.4.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 8.4.1 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
         Loading archives not supported

 Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
 }}}

 In other words, the key sticking point is not the use of `ANN`, but rather
 loading archives in interpreted code in general. Therefore, this is a
 duplicate of #9438, so closing.
