Comment (by maeder):

 "gmake -d" did not reveal anything

 {{{
 ...
 Reading makefile `utils/unlit/ghc.mk' (search path) (no ~ expansion)...
 Reading makefile `utils/unlit/dist/build/.depend' (search path) (no ~
 expansion)...
 /bin/sh: syntax error at line 1: `;' unexpected
 /bin/sh: syntax error at line 1: `;' unexpected

 }}}

 However, this error is gone if I change in mk/config.mk SHELL from /bin/sh
 to /bin/bash
 {{{
 SHELL                   = /bin/bash
 }}}
