Thanks for the bug report. I'm actually aware of this issue and it's due to "recent" changes in how cabal works. I was hoping somebody with a good understanding of best practices would swoop in and help out :)
However failing that, I'll eventually learn about stack and switch the build to use that (which I understand is the way to go).

Ah, I see. Thank you. We found a workaround. I'm not sure that it is a good solution, but it is ok for us since allows us to build Reduceron.
