dll-split during stage 2 compiling ghc v7.8.3 for arm_linux

Trying to compile GHC 7.8.3 for ubuntu/arm. Was in Stage 1 for 8 hours before exiting with following message:

dll-split: internal error: evacuate(static): strange closure type 0
    (GHC version 7.8.3 for arm_unknown_linux)
    Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
