It seems to me, that the code in ILGen is using Control.Monad.State
(that nowdays defaults to .Lazy) from package mtl.

For stage1, this can be solved by adding "-package mtl" to ghc command
used to linking, for next stages, you'd need to add mtl to bootstrap cycle,
I think.  I have no idea how that is done.  Borrowing code from mtl might be
easier.

HTH,
