 This is bad, because we can't build HEAD with the newly released 6.12.2.
 It was reported a few days ago by Matthias Kilian on cvs-ghc, but at the
 time we didn't realise it was a regression in 6.12.2.

 {{{
 ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 6.12.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
         tcIfaceGlobal (local): not found:
     ghc-6.13:HsExpr.$fxDataHsExpr{v rlO}
     [(a2NS, Identifier `ic{v a2NS}'), (a2O9, Identifier `ic{v a2O9}'),
      (a2Ol, Identifier `ic{v a2Ol}'), (a2OD, Identifier `ic{v a2OD}'),
      (a2OO, Identifier `ic{v a2OO}'), (a2Pj, Identifier `ic{v a2Pj}'),
      (a2Px, Identifier `ic{v a2Px}'), (a2PK, Identifier `ic{v a2PK}'),
      (a2Q6, Identifier `ic{v a2Q6}'), (a2Sf, Identifier `ic{v a2Sf}'),
      (a2Te, Identifier `ic{v a2Te}'), (a2UJ, Identifier `ic{v a2UJ}'),
      (a2WH, Identifier `ic{v a2WH}'), (a35p, Identifier `ic{v a35p}'),
      (a363, Identifier `typeOf1{v a363}'),
      -- more follows
 }}}

 Unpulling this patch in the HEAD tree allegedly avoids the bug:
