It seems that something somewhere in linker-land changed in GHC 7.8 such that packages that include C components now need to be built with position-independent code on some platforms... I am not sure whether the correct fix is to pepper… packages... with "-fPIC"... or to instead teach Cabal to do this.
Aha! Thanks for this explanation of what I have been suffering from.

I've now fixed this issue in Cabal HEAD and also pushed the fix to 1.20 and 1.18 branches. 1.20 and 1.18 point releases should be out soon.
Thanks a million for the speedy response to this serious issue!
I can't wait for the point releases. I'll go with HEAD on one of the branches for now.
