pkgs/build-support/cabal: stabilize shared linking support
We cannot pass the --{enable,disable}-executable-dynamic flags to GHC versions prior to 7.4.x. Building shared libraries via --{enable,disable}-shared is possible in theory with GHC 6.12.x or later, but doesn't work in practice because our GHC 6.10.x builds don't provide shared versions of their base libraries. This could probably be fixed, but it's probably not worth the effort.
