GHC from PKGSRC on SmartOS is missing the cabal command. This comes from the cabal-install Haskell package.

Building cabal-install 1.16.1.0 on SmartOS [email protected] is a bit difficult due to dynamic library changes.

You need to modify the cabal-install.cabal file to include a conditional statement to explicitly depend on libssp (put this in below build-depends: unix...):

    if os(solaris)
      extra-libraries: ssp

The bootstrap itself won't run unmodified either because:

1. The layout of Hackage has changed (HACKAGE_URL and URL need to change)
2. Making Setup requires -lssp to work since we're driving ghc directly
