Its related the the ghc 6.2.0 PIC/PIW thing. With GHC configured as:

    ./configure \
        CONF_CC_OPTS_STAGE2=-fno-PIE \
        CONF_GCC_LINKER_OPTS_STAGE2=-no-pie \
        CONF_LD_LINKER_OPTS_STAGE2=-no-pie \
        CONF_CC_OPTS_STAGE0=-no-pie \
        CONF_GCC_LINKER_OPTS_STAGE0=-no-pie \
        CONF_LD_LINKER_OPTS_STAGE0=-no-pie \
        CONF_HC_OPTS_STAGE0=-optl=-no-pie

and cabal-install version 1.24.0.1 this problem disappears.
