it’s simply a bug in Cabal:
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2625
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2626

It is fixed upstream, but it takes a while to make it into a GHC
release. We could try to backport that change to the Cabal in GHC-7.10,
or simply try to include the latest Cabal in GHC-7.10, but previously,
I was not comfortable patching GHC to such an extend. Now, with the
ability to run "make-all" to verify the changes, such fixes are
actually reasonable – but still quite a bit of work and waiting time.

Greetings,
Joachim
