I had the same problem with Debian Lenny on a 32-bit 2x quadcore Opteron:

  http://groups.google.com/group/fa.haskell/msg/34ee76bed380438d

I found that installing the binary Debian packages (from Sid) haskell-platform 
and ghc6, and then installing ghc 6.12 from source fixed 6.10. Now I seem to 
be able to compile with 6.10 and programs run without segfaulting (but not 
6.8 or 6.12). I never managed to get cabal to work though...
