I don't know what might case this I'm afraid. Is it reproducible from a
completely clean tree? (i.e. make maintainer-clean first).

>>> The last time I saw this, I realized that `make clean` and even `make maintainer-clean` failed to remove the old .hs and .o files in ./libraries. I ran `find ./libraries | grep "\.hi$\|\.o$" | xargs -n 1 rm` which cleaned things up nicely. Then I had to fiddle around with `ghc-pkg` and unfortunately I don't remember exactly what I did, but everything built fine.

>>> The other notable thing is that the versions of the installed packages matches the packages I am building with GHC. I initially thought that it would be a good thing, however now I'm thinking that it's leading to some kind of conflict between the build system and the bootstrap system.
>>> In the past I've noticed that cabal does not deal well with different versions of GHC, particularly that it doesn't keep track which version of GHC is used to build and register a package (and the .cabal user directory doesn't have separate subdirectories for different cabal versions). This is quite annoying, since it means one can't really have test installs of GHC without fiddling around with prefixes or sandbox construction. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if conflicts from that sort of thing could cause the issue I'm having.
