Cannot build the package with ghc 8.6.5

[mradke]

On NixOS 20.03, with ghc865, I'll get the following output when invoking cabal v2-build:

Build profile: -w ghc-8.6.5 -O1
In order, the following will be built (use -v for more details):
 - yeshql-core-4.1.1.2 (lib) (requires build)
 - yeshql-hdbc-4.1.1.2 (lib) (requires build)
 - yeshql-4.2.0.0 (lib) (requires build)
 - OdbcWithHaskell-0.1.0.0 (exe:OdbcWithHaskell) (first run)

cabal: Failed to build yeshql-core-4.1.1.2 (which is required by
exe:OdbcWithHaskell from OdbcWithHaskell-0.1.0.0). See the build log above for
details.

In the environment cabal --version yields:

cabal-install version 3.0.0.0
compiled using version 3.0.0.0 of the Cabal library 

This is probably a usage error, since I'm fairly new to cabal.
Anyhow I'd assume this should not happen.
