Most of my clean builds of HEAD "work" at least being able to build the libraries and compile and run a simple test program (I don't bother with stage2). What I do is have a clean local repo "ghc-HEAD" (also containing others from darcs-all), and "darcs get" a new copy from that every time I want to do a clean build. Much more reliable in my experience than "make distclean" recently, and makes sure I only waste bandwidth downloading patches once per patch.
