Test suite hangs at run-time without -O0

Summary

Test suite compiled with GHC 8.8.2 hangs at run-time without -O0

Steps to reproduce

git clone https://github.com/blamario/construct.git
cd construct
git checkout c0ef9c1a11c41b9dcd69c40f2af2dadbd21318d8
cabal test

The tests are passing. Now delete the last line of construct.cabal, namely

ghc-options:         -O0

and run cabal test again. The test suite hangs.

Expected behavior

The test suite should exhibit equivalent behaviour with -O0 and the default -O1.

Environment

• GHC version used: 8.8.2

• Operating System: Fedora Linux 31

• System Architecture: Intel x86_64
