Summary: Options -no-hs-main -debug cause 'impossible' to happen

Initial Comment:
Here's the command line:

ghc -c ForeignTest.hs -fglasgow-exts -package text
-no-hs-main

And here's the module:
-----------------------
module ForeignTest (reduce) where

import Foreign.StablePtr
import GensDef
import GensCoreIO

foreign export ccall "reduce"
   reduceMain ::
      StablePtr LookupFun -> StablePtr ReduceFun -> IO
(StablePtr Environment)

reduceMain _ _ = newStablePtr emptyEnv
------------------------

Let me know if you need the modules GensDef and
GensCoreIO imported from above. I expect the problem is
more generic than that.

Turns out that -debug option is the sole culprit of the
error, there's no need for -no-hs-main. I'm using ghc 6.2 on
Gentoo Linux.

Could you supply more info?  The title of the bug says
"-no-hs-main -debug", but your example command line doesn't
contain -debug.  As a quick test I tried to compile
something with -no-hs-main -debug, and it apparently worked
correctly.

Oh yeah, the error message I get is:

ghc-6.2: panic! (the `impossible' happened, GHC version 6.2):
        findBuildTag

Please report it as a compiler bug to
glasgow-haskell-bugs at haskell.org,
or http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/.
