how to compile non-dynamic ghc-7.8.2 ?

[John Lato]

Hi Carter,

cabal-install-1.20.0.0, using Cabal 1.20.0.0.  But this also happened IIRC
with just ghc, no libraries installed, and no cabal anywhere on the path.

In any case, thus far the worst behavior I've seen from a too-old cabal is
a compile failure, not a core dump :)
