Comment:

 Thanks for the report.

 There are actually earlier failures than that, e.g.:
 {{{
 /usr/bin/ghc -package-conf
 /tmp/zi/ghc/ghc-6.10.3/libraries/bootstrapping.conf --make Setup -package
 Cabal-1.6.0.3 -o Setup

 Setup.hs:16:7:
     Could not find module `System.FilePath':
       it was found in multiple packages: filepath-1.1.0.2 FilePath-0.11
 }}}
 GHC 6.6 doesn't come with `FilePath`, so it looks like you have installed
 it, and that has confused the build system. The build should work with a
 vanilla GHC 6.6 installation.

 The real bug here is that the build should have stopped after the first
 failure. However, given this is all done differently in the new build
 system in the HEAD, I'm going to close this ticket.
