Comment (by bollmann):

 hmm, putting `DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS=NO` into `mk/build.mk` and then running
 `./boot && ./configure && make` results in an error:

 {{{
 Configuring ghc-prim-0.5.0.0...
 ghc-cabal: Cannot find the program 'ghc'. User-specified path
 '/home/dominik/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-stage1' does not refer to an executable
 and
 the program is not on the system path.
 libraries/ghc-prim/ghc.mk:4: recipe for target 'libraries/ghc-prim/dist-
 install/package-data.mk' failed
 make[1]: *** [libraries/ghc-prim/dist-install/package-data.mk] Error 1
 Makefile:129: recipe for target 'all' failed
 make: *** [all] Error 2
 }}}

 I don't really understand what's happening here.
