One issue that sometimes bites me when trying to compile against GHC is that of dependencies. When compiling against GHC you are bound to use whatever dependency versions GHC was compiled with. In some cases these can be a bit dated which can lead to Cabal hell. I'm not really sure what can be done about this short of making Cabal/GHC more robust in the face of multiple dependency versions within the same build. Cheers, - Ben
