It would be much easier for you to use the GHC 6.6.x branch rather than
trying to use the HEAD branch which as you can see depends on
development versions of various other things (including in this case a
development version of cabal).

Or as was suggested as an temporary workaround just compile your code
-fvia-C and then load it up in GHCi.
