Someone else has reported the same problem, but I still don't know what
causes it.

Could you try the following and send me the output:

  $ cd ghc/lib/compat
  $ make show VALUE=ghc_ge_603
  $ make show VALUE=EXCLUDED_SRCS
  $ make show VALUE=HS_SRCS

and this *might* fix it:

  $ rm .depend
  $ make boot UseStage1=YES EXTRA_HC_OPTS='-O -fvia-C -keep-hc-files' 
  $ make UseStage1=YES EXTRA_HC_OPTS='-O -fvia-C -keep-hc-files'
