internal error: Can't allocate thunk for free

Trying to compile stack with ghc-8.0.2 resulted in this:

[ 73 of 124] Compiling Stack.PackageIndex ( src\Stack\PackageIndex.hs, C:\Users\abiehl\git\stack\dist-newstyle\build\x86_64-windows\ghc-8.0.2\stack-1.4.1\build\Stack\PackageIndex.o )
ghc.exe: internal error: Can't allocate thunk for free
    (GHC version 8.0.2 for x86_64_unknown_mingw32)
    Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
cabal.exe: Failed to build stack-1.4.1. The build process terminated with exit
code 3

The file in question uses TemplateHaskell and I suspect the runtime linker to be the culprit.
