GHC 6.10.1 cannot compile Crypto-4.1.0

While trying to install Crypto, I get this error message with GHC 6.10.1 on Mac OS X 10.5:

$ cabal install Crypto
...
Linking dist/build/SymmetricTest/SymmetricTest ...

ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 6.10.1 for i386-apple-darwin):

Even with -fregs-graph specified (in the .cabal file) this happens.
