installing ghc without already having ghc

[Jessica Brennan [staff]]

I was able to fix my previous errors by adding -I/usr/local/bin. However I 
am getting more errors later in the build.

In stage 2 of the cross compiling build I am getting errors at this phase:
$ cd H/ghc/lib
$ make clean
$ make -k UseStage1=YES EXTRA_HC_OPTS='-O -fvia-C -keep-hc-files'

If I do as it suggests and add "-ignore-package base-1.0", I get the 
following errors:

Any suggestions?
