Perhaps someone can confirm that Cabal is ok, and then close.
Pedro: the "deriving Binary" stuff still generates a gargantuan quantity of code!
Compiling Cabal within the GHC tree is not really ok (see comments in Phab:D183). It does compile, but it takes *several* minutes as well as massive amount of memory (over 50% of the 4GiB mem available in the buildbot, causing it to fail w/ an out-of-mem exception since we build mit CPUS=4) to when trying to produce the `libraries/Cabal/Cabal/dist- install/build/Language/Haskell/Extension.o` module with `ghc-stage1` -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9583#comment:16 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
