I just tried building from a clean checkout with the same build.mk.

./boot
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ghc/ghc-HEAD
make -j4
make install

This resulted in the same error:

"/usr/local/ghc/ghc-HEAD/lib/ghc-8.3.20170428/bin/ghc-pkg" --force --global-package-db "/usr/local/ghc/ghc-HEAD/lib/ghc-8.3.20170428/package.conf.d" update rts/dist/package.conf.install
Reading package info from "rts/dist/package.conf.install" ... done.

My cabal is 2.1.0.0

% cabal --version
cabal-install version 2.1.0.0
compiled using version 2.1.0.0 of the Cabal library
