Comment:

 I've also run into this issue. Using #def is very convenient for wrapping
 a C interface (e.g. to handle passing structs by value). To work around
 the cabal limitation, one can either use a Makefile or a custom Setup.hs
 to manually invoke hsc2hs in the src directory before running the usual
 cabal install. This requires that the generated *_hsc.c files be specified
 in the .cabal file.
