GHC 8.2.2 crashes when building the haskell-gi sample code
GHC 8.2.2 crashes while building the haskell-gi sample code in a new project created with stack:
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 8.2.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
tcIfaceGlobal (local): not found
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
While forcing the thunk for TyThing Layout
which was lazily initialized by initIfaceCheck typecheckLoop,
I tried to tie the knot, but I couldn't find Layout
in the current type environment.
If you are developing GHC, please read Note [Tying the knot]
and Note [Type-checking inside the knot].
Consider rebuilding GHC with profiling for a better stack trace.

Steps to repro:
- Download the attached project
- Unarchive
- run
stack build
in the project folder.
