Hi, I have a new OpenBSD 5.6 installation on AMD64. The OpenBSD package collection has ghc 7.6.3 and Cabal-install 1.16.0.2. After installing them, I attempted to install a new version of cabal-install using the packaged cabal-install by doing `cabal install cabal-install'. But I get a "ghc: out of memory (requested 1048576 bytes)" error while it is compiling cabal-install 1.20.0.3. I have a ticket created against ghc but I wonder if it is a bug with ghc or cabal-install or OpenBSD or something else. Anyway.. the ticket is here [1]. I can help debug the problem on my OpenBSD box. Thanks Ramakrishnan [1] https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9904
