cabal install --uhc always fails with "fileAccess: does not exist"

[skatayama]

I successfully built and installed v1.1.9.4 of UHC by the standard way:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

`uhc --version' returns

ehc-1.1.9.4, revision @952b02e907, timestamp 20160823 +0900 113928

When I try to install a package using cabal, it always fails, complaining
missing bc/plain. For example,

$ cabal install --uhc transformers
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring transformers-0.5.2.0...
Building transformers-0.5.2.0...
Preprocessing library transformers-0.5.2.0...
ehc: dist/build/transformers-0.5.2.0/uhc-1.1.9.4/bc/plain: fileAccess: does not exist (No such file or directory)
Failed to install transformers-0.5.2.0
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
transformers-0.5.2.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

I also tried filepath-1.3.0.1 and show-0.6, and they failed with the same error.
I tried unpacking those packages and tried to build them there.
They failed with the same message, and those files (and even transformers-0.5.2.0/
under dist/build) did not exist.

Building via cabal is not properly working for uhc, in particular for libraries. Executables may work, but in practice it turns out to be handiest to gather all files in a single directory and then build. Admittedly not the way it should, but further cabal integration is still something to be done.
