 Building with
 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Preparation/Linux#Docker as
 follows

 {{{
 git checkout e4cc19de4bdbccea589d41717e31d63b088a8990
 git submodule update
 ./configure
 CPUS=5 ./validate
 }}}

 Thereafter

 {{{
 tar xvf ~/mysrc/git.haskell.org/ghc/bindistprep/ghc-7.11.20151229-x86_64
 -unknown-linux.tar.bz2
 cd ghc-7.11.20151229
 ./configure
 make install
 }}}

 Fails with

 {{{
 "utils/ghc-cabal/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-cabal-bindist" copy libraries
 /ghc-prim dist-install "strip" '' '/opt/ghc/7.11.20151229'

 ghc-cabal: /home/ghc/libraries/ghc-prim/ghc-prim.cabal: does not exist
 }}}

 The path `/home/ghc/libraries/ghc-prim/ghc-prim.cabal` is the absolute
 path to the file in the docker file system, i.e. it is the location when
 the tar was constructed.

 You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
 changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
 state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

 If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
 do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

   git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

 HEAD is now at 5bb7fec... Export some useful GHC API functions.
