Compiling the package lame-0.1.1 using cabal, with profiling:
[2 of 2] Compiling Codec.Audio.LAME ( Codec/Audio/LAME.hs, dist/build/Codec/Audio/LAME.p_o ) ghc: panic!

Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
This is a regression; the package compiles fine with GHC 8.0.2

It appears that it is looping on a set of inlinings. `-ddump-inlinings` says, {{{ ...
