OS X? Do you have MacPorts or Homebrew installed? Where did you get your
ghc from?
(I've also seen this on FreeBSD due to a conflict between ports iconv and
the base system, but its ld produces a slightly different error message.)

Yes, as I suspected. The problem is that Apple ships an old version of the
iconv library; MacPorts and Homebrew generally install a newer,
incompatible one with symbols renamed to trigger that link error (because
otherwise you find out about the mismatch when the first iconv call dumps
core at runtime). You will need to arrange for ghc not to see that other
iconv, only Apple's, since it won't work with any but Apple's. Or use a ghc
from whichever package manager you have installed, so that it works with
that package manager's iconv library.
(This is more likely to happen with Homebrew, since most things don't look
/opt/local but just about everything looks under /usr/local.)

Indeed, I uninstalled libiconv by running the following command.
sudo port uninstall --follow-dependents libiconv
Then, `cabal install cabal-install` runs without a problem.
Hi MacPorts Users, Is there better solution to this problem? Please
see the original question regarding the conflict of MacPorts and
Haskell. (I don't what to use haskell from MacPorts as I want to keep
updated with the latest version of Haskell.)

I personally would not --- and do not --- chase the latest ghc, because a
fair amount of stuff still doesn't build with ghc 7.10.1 and we in #haskell
on Freenode keep having to advise people to switch back to 7.8 until the
library situation settles down. Wait for the first Platform release with
7.10 (hopefully within a month), after which MacPorts will be updated to it
(developer time permitting).

~$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.8.3
I had problems with MacPorts for Python and Perl. The general
suggestion is to stay way from MacPorts for managing packages offered
by other language platforms. As if I use MacPorts for managing
packages from these languages, I am limited by what are available from
MacPorts.
