Comment(by thoughtpolice):
This is happening when the bootstrap compiler is invoked at the beginning
of the build process. The problem is that GHC 7.6.3 does not have the fix
from your commit the other week, so it will generate empty metadata
tripping the assert.
The long and short of this is that 7.6.3 will support up-to LLVM 3.2
(except it's kind of broken,) but 7.8 will be fine with 3.3+
