Duncan,
I got the latest cabal. The stack overflow is fixed. But the install
command still does not work (on a very simple package). Attached is
the verbose output. It does not like to proceed somewhere between
configure and build. But the verbose is not telling why!

I also attached my cabal dance with exactly the same configure options.
