 On amd64, what is the contents of `inplace/bin` after the above?


 On powerpc64, what is your PATH environment variable set to, when you
 install?
 You want `/usr/local/bin` before `/usr/bin` so during installation new
 binutils
 are used.

 Can you also add the output of `ldd /usr/local/lib/ghc-8.6.3/bin/ghc-pkg`?
