Comment (by rwbarton):

 Is it possible that your system is actually running out of memory? ghc is
 rather RAM-hungry and it might fail to build cabal if you have less than
 around 1G free.

 In any case, the ghc 7.6 line is no longer being developed so if you do
 think it may be a bug in ghc, try ghc 7.8 first (you'll have to install
 cabal 1.18 or newer to work with ghc 7.8).
