Where you choose to install ghc is not related. > what does cabal install --global ? Global always means /usr/local by default, unless you change it in the cabal config file. By default ghc, gtk2hs also install globally in /usr/local (unless you specify a --prefix.) This tradition of global and /usr/local for ./configure scripts is ok, but for a convenient package manager it's not necessarily ideal.
