No, because the instructions at
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/RunningTests
told me to run these commands in "the root of the GHC tree".

But since you suggested it, I tried running all the test commands from
within  the  ghc-7.10.1/testsuite directory  and  they  all failed  as
follows:

    mk/boilerplate.mk:168: mk/ghcconfig_data_build.d_6.8_ghc-7.10.1_inplace_bin_ghc-stage2.mk: No such file or directory
    ./mk/ghc-config "/data/build.d/6.8/ghc-7.10.1/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2" >"mk/ghcconfig_data_build.d_6.8_ghc-7.10.1_inplace_bin_ghc-stage2.mk"; if [ $? != 0 ]; then rm -f "mk/ghcconfig_data_build.d_6.8_ghc-7.10.1_inplace_bin_ghc-stage2.mk"; exit 1; fi
    /bin/sh: ./mk/ghc-config: cannot execute binary file
    make: *** [mk/ghcconfig_data_build.d_6.8_ghc-7.10.1_inplace_bin_ghc-stage2.mk] Error 1

Something is really broken here.
