Comment(by juhp):

 Krzysztof, which OS are you testing on?
 I admit I have not tested my patch further since ghc-6.12.1 was released.
 "--ghc-option=-dynamic" works ok on Linux ix86* for bin packages.
 And --enable-shared works ok on lib packages.

 There is a conflict for binlib packages when configuring with
 "--ghc-option=-dynamic --enable-shared -p": the build fails complaining
 about missing dyn_prof files in ghc's libraries IIRC.  This
 sounds pretty much what you are seeing.  I think that cabal needs
 to support -dynamic itself to workaround this.

 (Note also this bug was reported against Cabal not cabal-install.)
