power-pc code generation error

The following code (in Test.hs, attached):
  module Test where 
  data T = C1
            | C2
            ...
            | C200
results in an assembler error when compiling natively (for the 
PPC):
  $ ghc -c Test.hs 
  /tmp/ghc8899.s:6652:Fixup of 45900 too large for field width of 
16 bits
  /tmp/ghc8899.s:6650:Fixup of 45908 too large for field width of 
16 bits

I don't have a problem when I compile via C:
  $ ghc -fvia-C -c Test.hs 
  $
