This failure is handled better by 5.02.2; it at least tells you to use -fvia-C in the error message.
So the real problem is that the debian people should upgrade what they distribute from 5.02 to 5.02.2. IIRC 5.02 contained a couple of serious segfaulting bugs which were fixed in 5.02.1, so it would be nice if Debian shipped a less buggy ghc to the world.
