Cannot install 8.0.1 from bindist

[Peter]

Trying to install ghc-8.0.1-x86_64-centos67-linux.tar.xz with:

  ./configure --prefix={prefix}
  make install-strip

gives me an error. The tail of the log is:

Registering ghc-8.0.1...

mkdir: cannot create directory `doc/aries/ghc-prim-0.5.0.0': No such file or
directory

Is there any way of knowing what the call to mkdir is relative to, and why
it's trying to create the directory there?
