Comment(by duncan):
Looks like cpp is outputting text that is not ASCII or UTF8. This then
blows up because ghc expects .hs files to be UTF8.
Cabal can perhaps work around this cpp quirk by calling ghc/cpp with
LANG=C.
The new program launching utils in Cabal should make it easier to set env
vars like this.
It'd be useful if someone could confirm this hypothesis.
