It prevents compilation of hslibs/hssource/HsParser now, so I hope
it will be fixed. Fortunately -O helps, but...

<<ghc: 5217418468 bytes, 19578 GCs, 61288688/280425628 avg/max bytes
residency (20 samples), 693M in use, 0.00 INIT (1.47 elapsed), 145.20
                        ^^^^
MUT (1439.94 elapsed), 184.90 GC (2897.30 elapsed) :ghc>>

Congratulations: this is the largest process ever run on my computer!

That ghc needs huge amounts of memory for large modules is a problem
in itself.
