I ran into this one thanks to Dropbox.
All my cabal commands started to fail in the same way all of a sudden (no
output, error code 127). A cabal clean -v3 revealed the problem and a
chmod +x fixed it.
$ cabal clean -v3; echo $?
Using external setup method with build-type Custom
Creating ./dist/setup (and its parents)
Using Cabal library version 1.8.0.6
Using ./Setup.hs as setup script.
./dist/setup/setup clean --verbose=3
