panic : Register allocator: out of stack slots (need 147)

Build current GHC HEAD on linux-powerpc.

Usign the stage1 to build compiler/main/DynFlags.hs -o compiler/stage2/build/DynFlags.o I get:

ghc-stage1: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 7.7.20121212 for powerpc-unknown-linux):
        Register allocator: out of stack slots (need 147)
   If you are trying to compile SHA1.hs from the crypto library then this
   is a known limitation in the linear allocator.

   Try enabling the graph colouring allocator with -fregs-graph instead.
   You can still file a bug report if you like.
