it works fine for me, but I only have GHC 6.6.1 at the moment. What

It'll be using Cabal-1.2.2.0
I'm not sure what the dist/Conftest.c error is about. I'm CC:ing
cabal-devel, perhaps some other Cabal hacker can help.
Yes, so what changed is that configuring ghc now tests ld to see if it
supports the -x flag. This involves creating some temp files. At the
moment it assumes that the dist dir exists since this is the case when
we're doing configure. Unfortunately of course this is not the case
when
cabal-install configures the compiler.
I suppose the right thing is for the ghc ld -x test to use the temp
dir
rather than assuming the existence of the dist dir. I'm not sure
how we
should work around that in cabal-install to make it work with the
released Cabal.
Crap, so cabal-install is totally broken with 6.8.1. cabal-install is
trying to find ld even before it has started to install a package. We
could cd to $tmpdir/something, and run findCompiler there. Nasty hack
workaround though. I guess we need to start testing cabal-install
with Cabal releases before they are released...
