Building pandoc via cabal on a Raspberry Pi 2 running Raspian doesn't work 
since there are compiler errors when building the Aeson dependency:

Data/Aeson/TH.hs:745:11:
    Template Haskell bracket requires GHC with interpreter support
    Perhaps you are using a stage-1 compiler?
      [| parseTypeMismatch' |]
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
aeson-0.7.0.6 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
pandoc-1.16.0.2 depends on aeson-0.7.0.6 which failed to install.


I guess it has to do with the GHC version (7.6.3) included in Raspian?
