That suggests something is seriously wrong with your installed ghc.
Specifically, cabal is compiling the Setup.{,l}hs that comes with the
package, and the result is not a valid executable for some reason.  I
suggest you see if a simple

> main = putStrLn "hello world"

compiles and runs, and if so then try compiling the Setup.hs or Setup.lhs
file in the distribution manually and see if that compiles and runs.
