I did have the same issue with GHC 6.8.1 on Windows. It is fixed in version 6.8.2.

Upgrading GHC to fix this seems a little extreme. You can just add gcc-lib (i.e. C:\ghc\ghc-6.8.1\gcc-lib) to your path.

Or you can install Cabal-1.2.3.0 which is the version that comes with ghc-6.8.2 and contains the fix: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/Cabal-1.2.3.0 Duncan
