Thanks for the hints. Unfortunately none of them have worked so far. I
am trying to compile just this file and nothing else, and I am using a
host with 8G of RAM and 8G of Swap. The problem seems to be the fact
that mipsel is limited to only 2G RAM space for user processes.
Unfortunately I cannot see a way forward here, other than removing ghc
(and every Haskell program) from mipsel.
