GHC 8.0.1: ghc --make broken on Raspberry Pi

System and compiler version

System: Raspberry Pi 2 running Raspbian Jessie (September 2016 release); LLVM 3.7 installed.

GHC: GHC 8.0.1 ARMv7 binary downloaded from GHC webpage (ghc-8.0.1-armv7-deb8-linux.tar.xz).

GCC version 4.9.2 (Raspbian 4.9.2-10)

Details

GHCi works perfectly, however 'ghc --make' does not work at all. The following minimal test program fails to compile:

main :: IO ()
main = putStrLn "Hello!"

Here are the first few lines of the compiler output:

pi@raspberrypi:~/haskell/test $ ~/opt/ghc-8.0.1/bin/ghc --make test.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( test.hs, test.o )

     Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `movw r7,:lower16:stg_bh_upd_frame_info'

See attachment for full compiler output with '-v'.
