ghc-7.4.1 includes cabal, hence the new cabal ebuild is just a placeholder. still there is no requirement that associates cabal-1.14 <=> ghc-7.4.1 and cabal-1.10 <=> ghc-7.04. Needless to mention that the builds fail, if those dependencies are not heeded. Reproducible: Always

Oh, my bad. I've misread the topic, sorry. Yes, a lot of old stuff is broken against newer ghc. Cabal is special here. Older Cabal versions don't support newer ghc's .conf file format. Do you really need Cabal-1.10?
It's just the ebuild dependencies that are broken. Right now, if you have ghc-7.4.1 and try to build cabal, cabal stable is 1.10. cabal emerges and fails with (haskell) dependencies missing. This is not caught by ebuild-logic, where it should be circumvented by ebuild-logic. so: cabal-1.10 should depend on <ghc-7.4.1 cabal 1.14 should depend on >=ghc-7.4.1

The same issue with extensible-exceptions-0.1.1.4. Maybe there are more of those and they all should be reviewed?
