Ah, I see the problem.  We added allocateExec() after the 6.4.2, but the version 
in the source tree is still 6.4.2, so GHC thinks it is safe to assume the two 
versions are the same, when in fact the 6.4.2 you are bootstrapping with doesn't 
have allocateExec().  I've bumped the version in the source tree to 6.4.3, this 
should fix the build for you.

Cheers,
