Turns out that INSTALL_LIBEXECS is empty:
{{{
sh-2.04$ make show VALUE=INSTALL_LIBEXECS
make -r --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk show
INSTALL_LIBEXECS=""""
}}}
Simon did a patch on ghc.mk for this
{{{
sh-2.04$ darcs what ghc.mk
What's new in ""ghc.mk"":

hunk ./ghc.mk 756
+ifneq ""$(INSTALL_LIBEXECS)"" """"
hunk ./ghc.mk 760
+endif
}}}
But then something similar happens later:

I give up.  Ian, can you fix this please?  I'll discard Simon's patch... it's not even clear to me that INSTALL_LIBEXECS should ever be empty.
