The problem was that the top-level ghc.mk's clean_libraries target
cleaned out all *.buildinfo files regardless of whether they were
generated from *.buildinf.in templates via ./configure.

I believe to have fixed that by

  http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/commitdiff/115eb4a8dba371dd155795910dc52c0e33389599

However, you'll have to restore the missing files via 'git checkout
process.buildinfo' or alike in the respective folder... :-/

Sorry for the inconvenience,
