Cant do annotations without GHCi

First found this while working on bug #4999 (closed) on powerpc-linux. I tried to disable building GHCi because #4999 (closed) and GHCi are related in some way. However the problem also exists on x86_64-linux.

Building from git master branch. If I do

echo "GhcWithInterpreter=NO" >> mk/build.mk

followed by configure and build I get:

ghc-stage2: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 7.1.20110408 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
        Cant do annotations without GHCi
    {103:19-33}
    base:GHC.Exts.ForceSpecConstr{d rcU}

Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
