Thanks for the report.

The loop is quite small: about 20 lines at the end of  http://darcs.haskell.org/ghcBuilder/builders/tn23/20/8.html

The attached patch should solve the problem. I'm worried that there're side-effects though.

Applying libffi-ghc-mk.patch (and other required patches), the tn23 GHC builder ends:
