Cannot make ghc: Failed to load interface for GHC.Base

[Dan Rosén]

Dear devs,

I'm getting this build error when compiling GHC:

"inplace/bin/ghc-stage1" -hisuf hi -osuf  o -hcsuf hc -static  -H64m -O0
-fasm    -package-name ghc-prim-0.3.1.0 -hide-all-packages -i

I uploaded a full log of (perl boot && ./configure && make) here:
http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~danr/log (3MB)

At lines 2515- I can see this:

"/home/dan/code/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-pkg" update --force
libraries/base/dist-install/inplace-pkg-config
Reading package info from "libraries/base/dist-install/inplace-pkg-config"
... done.

...
base-4.7.0.0: cannot find any of
["GHC/Base.hi","GHC/Base.p_hi","GHC/Base.dyn_hi"] (ignoring)

Maybe this is related? I don't know if these ignores are expected.

I've tried cloning the repo from http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git and the
github mirror, I'm using the "quick" build flavour, but I've also tried
adding

DYNAMIC_BY_DEFAULT=NO
DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS=NO

before GhcLibWays' definition in mk/build.mk without success.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks,
Dan
