PrimOp.lhs includes a bunch of files that are auto-generated from
primops.txt.  In ghc/compiler you should have a bunch of files called
primop-*-incl, which are generated by the genprimopcode program in
ghc/utils/genprimopcode.  If these files are empty or corrupt, just
remove them and re-build.

Are you building GHC in a fresh tree now?  I'd recommend doing that.
