This probably means that you have packages installed in your ~/.cabal

avoid this problem you can configure cabal to put built packages into a
directory containing the platform name.

How does one do this? I ran into this problem a while ago and couldn't
figure it out:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12393750/how-can-i-configure-cabal-to-use-different-folders-for-32-bit-and-64-bit-package

I do this at work where I share the same home dir between several different machines, and my .cabal/config contains

install-dirs user
  prefix: /home/simonmar/.cabal
  bindir: $prefix/bin/$arch-$os
  -- libdir: $prefix/lib
  libsubdir: $pkgid/$compiler/$arch-$os
  -- libexecdir: $prefix/libexec
  -- datadir: $prefix/share
  -- datasubdir: $pkgid
  -- docdir: $datadir/doc/$pkgid
  -- htmldir: $docdir/html
  -- haddockdir: $htmldir


Hope this helps.

Cheers,
        Simon
