You don't need to build the RTS when building GHC as a package.  If you
want to do this, you have to remove BuildPackageGHC=YES from build.mk,
build the compiler, RTS and libraries, and then add BuildPackageGHC=YES
again.  But I don't think you need to do this; just build the compiler
in ghc/compiler.
