Segmentation fault trying to build ghc 6.10.1 using macports, Mac OS X 10.5, PPC

[David Menendez]

I'm trying to upgrade GHC to 6.10.1 using macports on a PowerBook G4
running OS X 10.5.5. From what I can tell, I'm getting a segmentation
fault from cabal-bin.

This is possibly related to <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15142>
and <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2380>.
