ghc-stage2 panic while compiling ghc-paths-0.1.0.5

Compilation of ghc-paths-0.1.0.5 with ghc-6.11.20090816 (darcs checkout) fails:

jsch@lafleur:~/Desktop/ghc-paths-0.1.0.5$ ghc --version

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

To compile ghc-paths-0.1.0.5 I replaced the Cabal library first (Setup.hs fails with 1.7.3):

jsch@lafleur:~/Desktop/ghc-paths-0.1.0.5$ ghc-pkg list

I have since updated my checkout (to 20090817) and will update this ticket as soon as I know if the problem persists.
