FFI library error building GHC

[David Feuer]

I keep getting this error. Can anyone help? I tried removing the file as
suggested, but it made no difference.

libffi/stamp.ffi.static-shared.install exists, but
libffi/build/inst/lib/libffi.a does not.
Suggest removing libffi/stamp.ffi.static-shared.install.
