Official procedure to build from source bundled with GHC source tarball?

[Compl Yue]

Thanks, but I didn't get an already working cabal at that time, maybe I 
should be trying install the cabal package from pkgsrc repository of 
SmartOS, but since the latest GHC of version 7.6.3 has been withdrawn 
from latest repository, I guess that's not preferable.

Anyway I've managed to build GHC 8.6.5 from source and bootstrapped its 
bundled cabal-install, then have itself upgraded to 3.0.0.0.

I find out later that cabal-install bundled with GHC 8.8.2 is just an rc 
<https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6328#issuecomment-575901090>, 
and figured out that to have cabal-install bootstrapped by GHC 8.8, I'd 
better wait for the 3.2 release.

Cheers,

Compl
