Comment (by Lemming):

 It is pretty strange: If I compile synthesizer-llvm in one go then it can
 be compiled by ghc-8.0.1. Then I alter the problematic module (update of
 date is enough), re-compile, and now surprisingly also ghc-8.0.1 produces
 the same error message. That is, the error already existed in ghc-8.0.1
 but was not always triggered.
