Compiling large constant data structure fails

I am trying to compile a large data strcture as list into a Haskell module (Source is linked below) and GHC fails with this error message:

Compiling CASL_DL.!PredefinedSign ( ./CASL_DL/PredefinedSign.hs, ./CASL_DL/PredefinedSign.o ) /tmp/ghc12137.s:30942:Fixup of 39588 too large for field width of 16 bits /tmp/ghc12137.s:30939:Fixup of 39600 too large for field width of 16 bits

With the flag '-fvia-C', GHC can compile the file without an error.

Sources, including a Makefile with used GHC options, are available at sources
