ICE when using nalgebra Matrix3 in rust-cuda kernel: "failed to parse bitcode for LTO module"

[stevefan1999-personal]

I tried writing this (obviously wrong) matrix multiplication kernel with nalgebra:

#![allow(improper_ctypes_definitions, clippy::missing_safety_doc)]

use cuda_std::prelude::*;
use cuda_std::vek::Vec2;
use nalgebra::Matrix3;

#[kernel]
pub unsafe fn matmul(a: &Matrix3<u8>, b: &Matrix3<u8>, c: *mut Matrix3<u8>) {
    let Vec2 { x, y } = thread::index_2d();
    let x = x as usize;
    let y = y as usize;
    (*c)[(x, y)] = (a.row(x) * b.column(y)).sum();
}

But then the codegen throws an ICE:

   Compiling gpu-playground v0.1.0 (F:\rust\gpu-playground2)
