Comment(by erikd):

 And with that patch I get:

 {{{
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( 2783.hs, 2783.o )
 ghc-stage1: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 7.1.20110412 for powerpc-unknown-linux):
         LlvmCodeGen.Reg: GlobalReg ( -> VanillaReg 8 VGcPtr) not
 supported!
 }}}

 Obviously no simple solution there.
