8.0 rc1 panics in applyTypeToArgs
To reproduce, clone https://github.com/rrnewton/haskell-lockfree and switch to ghc-8.0 branch. Then run cabal install atomic-primops/ (note the trailing slash, we don't want to install it from Hackage). It should fail with a message like this:
➜ haskell-lockfree git:(ghc-8.0) ✗ cabal install atomic-primops/
Warning: The package list for 'hackage.haskell.org' is 25.1 days old.
Run 'cabal update' to get the latest list of available packages.
