 This is basically the same problem as reported here:

 https://www.mail-archive.com/ghc-devs@haskell.org/msg04439.html

 I have empty .cabal and .ghc, no ghc in paths and I have old Ubuntu LTS
 (12.04.4) so I was able to install ia32-libs and a few other libs

 I've downloaded

 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.8.3/ghc-7.8.3-i386-unknown-linux-
 deb7.tar.xz

 configured, and make install says:
