ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) ... Dynamic linker not initialised

When trying to build the CUDA accelerate backend I get the following "complier panic":

me@box:~/accelerate-cuda-0.15.0.0$ cabal build
Building accelerate-cuda-0.15.0.0...
Preprocessing library accelerate-cuda-0.15.0.0...

This is the accelerate cuda package version 0.15.0.0: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/accelerate-cuda

I changed the constraints from base==4.7.* to base==4.8.* to allow for compilation with GHC 7.10.2. After installing the dependencies through cabal and attempting to manually build the package manuall with cabal build I get the above mentioned compiler panics. GHC instructed me to report the issue as a bug (defect) so I did.

I'd like to get this library to build with the newest version of GHC so please let me know how to proceed.
