Usage: cabal exec [FLAGS] COMMAND [-- [ARGS...]]

according to the Usage, you should probably do this instead:

$ cabal exec ghc -- -threaded site.hs

It's a common unix convention to have `--` separate flags from arguments,
for example:

$ echo '--not-a-flag' | grep --not-a-flag
grep: unrecognized option `--not-a-flag'

$ echo '--not-a-flag' | grep -- --not-a-flag
--not-a-flag
