Problem compiling GHC

Hi all,
I'm having a problem when I try to compile GHC. I did it several times
before without any problem but I don't know exactly from which moment it
started giving me errors. Anyway, I have some clues:

1) I was modifying some STM stuff and I was receiving errors with (I think)
out of date information. Then I did "make clean" in "compiler" and in
"libraries/base".
2) I don't know if this has to do but some time ago I installed FilePath
library and I hadn't executed "make clean" from this moment on.

I insist, these two items are only more information but I'm not sure they're
related with the error.
So, what I did, to be sure that the error had nothing to do with my
modification, was to download GHC again and try to build the original
version. But I still get the same error (that I paste below this message).
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
Regards.
