ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)

Summary

GHC asks me to report a bug.

Steps to reproduce

Trying to install Agda v2.5.1 using the Haskell Tool Stack:

git clone [email protected]:agda/agda.git agda-2.5.1
cd agda-2.5.1
git checkout v2.5.1.2.20161216
stack --stack-yaml stack-8.0.1.yaml install

Expected behavior

Assuming that the bug is there, for me it outputs the following message:

ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 8.0.1 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
        Prelude.chr: bad argument: 2600468483

Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

Ideally it would just install Agda of course.

Environment

  • GHC version used: 8.0.1 I suppose.

Optional:

  • Operating System: Ubuntu 21.04 (Kubuntu)
  • System Architecture:
