Cabal can't configure without global package db #5445

I am trying to get cabal to build off of a separate package db. Here are the configure flags (built from Nix's generic-builder.nix off of this branch: NixOS/nixpkgs#43300):

Linking Setup ...
configuring
configureFlags: --verbose --prefix=/nix/store/m2zc85p4kpbf25i6vf6chiwl3d802bf0-hello-1.0.0.2 --libdir=$prefix/lib/$compiler --libsubdir=$pkgid --docdir=/nix/store/facbpddzx14wi48j4yl8sg38xz7jxr3d-hello-1.0.0.2-doc/share/doc/hello-1.0.0.2 --with-gcc=gcc --package-db=/tmp/nix-build-hello-1.0.0.2.drv-6/package.conf.d --ghc-option=-j1 --disable-split-objs --enable-library-profiling --profiling-detail=all-functions --disable-profiling --enable-shared --disable-coverage --enable-static --disable-executable-dynamic --enable-tests --enable-library-vanilla --enable-library-for-ghci --ghc-option=-split-sections --ghc-option=-no-global-package-db --extra-lib-dirs=/nix/store/2ycq3hgnkczlb06hy79lmficf392qgfd-ncurses-6.1/lib --extra-lib-dirs=/nix/store/jvz2yldc7kcfxrfwi44dys82rf9qgwwl-gmp-6.1.2/lib
Using Parsec parser
Configuring hello-1.0.0.2...
Flags chosen: threaded=False
Dependency base >=4.2 && <5: using base-4.12.0.0
<command line>: unknown package: rts

The key new flag is --ghc-option=-no-global-package-db. The package.conf.d file now contains rts & base which should be all that is needed for this package to build (hello). However, there seems to be a conflict with how cabal expects your environment to be set up:

/nix/store/y4g1zsl6cvh941c519nkxrvdh3xyv7h8-ghc-8.6.0.20180714/bin/ghc -hide-all-packages -c /run/user/1000/tmp.5LxTUJ741W/21754-0.c -o /run/user/1000/tmp.5LxTUJ741W/21754-1.o -no-global-package-db
<command line>: unknown package: rts

It looks like the --package-db flag didn't make it to ghc. This sounds like a Cabal bug.

Regardless, it would likely be helpful to paste the output of ghc-pkg dump --package-db /tmp/nix-build-hello-1.0.0.2.drv-6/package.conf.d.

Is there a way to reproduce this today? If not, maybe this should be closed due to inactivity and unclear way to repro?
