Comment (by srutownik):

 Thank you for the quick reply.
 When I tried to build GHC yesterday I omitted executing {{{ perl boot}}},
 because I am using source package distribution (obtained by your downloads
 page), the sources are not from git. In wiki it was mentioned that {{{
 perl boot}}} is unnecessary in this case.
 However I have done everything from the beginning to make sure that I have
 not missed any step. I have created two separate dirs containing unzipped
 packages. Next I have executed {{{perl boot}}} in one of then. What is
 following I have executed {{{./configure}}} and {{{make}}} in both
 directories, but in both cases I have encountered the same errors as
 before.
