make binary-dist tries to tar non-existing files

[maeder]

I only notice now that at the end of "make binary-dist" I get non-fatal messages like:

 cd bindistprep && "/opt/csw/bin/gtar" hcf - -T ../bindist-list | bzip2 -c > ../bindistprep/ghc-7.0

under MacOS.

This applies to both ghc-7 release candidates. The created tar-files seem to work, though. So it is only confusing output during building.
