We should reject LLVM 3.2 if it's known to be bad - I remember running
into this on the RPi too. LlvmCodeGen already checks the version number
and emits warnings if it's too old or too new.

Look at the output of ghc --info
It will tell you what opt /LLC ghc will invoke by default.
ghc 7.8 should work with llvm 3.3/3.4

(And note I base this assumption on the principle that e.g. ARM is
currently working relatively well with the latest versions of LLVM,
where that's the only option for the code generator. But we've had
other bugs exposed here before, or exposed LLVM bugs, so it may just
be whack-a-mole...)
On Thu,
GHC 7.6 did not support LLVM 3.2 - it was only tested with up-to LLVM 3.1.
The odd version number for LLVM 3.2 was a known problem with their
tarball, they forgot to remove the 'svn' suffix. This shouldn't be a
problem for GHC, it should correctly parse the right thing anyway.
Can you try another

Oops, sorry. openSuSE 12.3 (64 bit), nothing virtual.

Okay, then it's probably that what openSuSE calls 3.2 is not what GHC thinks
3.2 is.

What OS? Is this on a vm? I7-avx is the instruction family. I5 will be ok.
Certain vms break handling avx register saves.

I have done a bit of testing with regards to my optllvm failures in the
testsuite.
Some tests compile but segfault when they are run, others fail to compile,
both with HEAD and 7.8.2, but those I tested all work with 7.6.3, although 7.6
gives the warning:
You are using a new version of LLVM
