It's trying to create/update compiler/stage2/package-data.mk with
ghc-cabal (but you don't have ghc-cabal, so it's running ""), but it
should be using the file that already exists.

Does the file exist?

If so, "make -dr all_ghc_stage2" should show why make thinks it's out of
date, which should point to the problem.

Failures in compiling C files are fine. It's the Haskell/cmm files we
need to compile, so that we get .hc files that can be built on the
target.
