Buidling profiled fails

[Austin Seipp]

I was actually looking at this exact code very recently since I was
fixing the build system with Stage1Only a little last night.

We do something like this in ./ghc.mk:

----------------------------------------
define addExtraPackage
ifeq "$2" "-"
# Do nothing; this package is already handled above
else ifeq "$2 $$(GhcProfiled)" "dph YES"
# Ignore the package: These packages need TH, which is incompatible
# with a profiled GHC
else
PACKAGES_STAGE2 += $1
endif
endef
---------------------------------------

So it skips adding dph to the list of stage2 packages if GhcProfiled is 'YES'

Simon, this is speculation, but can you try:

$ make show VALUE=GhcProfiled

I think it's possible the value of GhcProfiled may have whitespace in
it, which would cause this `ifeq` to fail.
