Comment(by edsko):
In the layer around GHC we allow enabling or disabling code generation
(i.e., type check only). When disabled, we set `{ hscTarget = HscNothing,
ghcLink = NoLink }`. If then later the code is tried to run anyway, the
above crash can arise. (We guard against this at our layer now, but it
would still be nice if ghc would give us an error message rather than
segfault when we make a mistake).
So, yes, I agree, a check and an error message will suffice.
