Cabal folk: it looks as if updating Cabal has made GHC on Windows break.  Might 
you investigate?

See below

Thanks

Looks like the commit with the Cabal submodule update causes this [1].
The revision before that commit still builds fine on my system, while 
everything else after that commit dies early at build [2].  Is this only me, 
has anybody else experienced the problem?  Perhaps I am doing something wrong?  
I do not remember to see any related "heads-up"
message on the list, like I should update any of the build-time dependencies.
