Comment:

 OK, I solved the problem by taking cue from what others porting programs
 to OpenBSD have written.

 OpenBSD defaults limits listed in /etc/login.conf is pretty conservative.
 So, I increased the datasize: ... values to infinity. After that cabal
 installed the 1.22.0.0 just fine. It upgraded from 1.16.0.x to 1.22.0.0. I
 will also try compiling a newer version of ghc.

 I am closing the ticket. Thanks.
