Initially I expected we’d just shell out and let cabal do the configuration and building of .cabal’ised packages. But it seems to be the case that we sidestep cabal for building ghc.
one reason, as far as I know, is increased parallelism; "make" can start building parts of ghc when the modules in base they depend on have already been built, even if base itself is not done yet. But you can build base using Cabal if you want to build it yourself, I do that here https://github.com/nomeata/veggies/blob/master/boot.sh#L91 for example.
