[Haskell] trouble building ghc-8.10.2 from source

[Scott N. Walck]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to build ghc-8.10.2 from source.

The configure step seemed to go well, as shown below.

The error during the build is shown after that.  I'm afraid I don't know
how to make heads or tails of the error, so any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott
