Duh, sorry about that.  The full list of things you need to touch are:

 $ touch ghcautoconf.h DerivedConstants.h GHCConstants.h
mkDerivedConstants.c mkDerivedConstantsHdr mkDerivedConstants.o
mkGHCConstants mkGHCConstants.o

I must have avoided making in ghc/includes when I did the bootstrap
myself.

Thanks for highlighting the problem.
