I cannot test much, as long as the text package cannot be installed.
dependency integer-gmp needs to be increased and:

-bash-3.00$ cabal build
Building text-0.11.2.2...
Preprocessing library text-0.11.2.2...
[26 of 39] Compiling Data.Text.IO.Internal ( Data/Text/IO/Internal.hs, 
dist/build/Data/Text/IO/Internal.o )
