Ahh. I didn't notice at first you're both using ghc-6.10. So does that
mean it's not the fault of Cabal-1.6 then? :-) Yay!

Note that the source builds do seem to install libHSrts_thr.a. I've got
it for ghc-6.10.0.20081005 which I built from source. So presumably it's
just a problem with generating the bindists.
