OK I found the problem, but it’d be great if someone who knows more
about the build system has something to say about this.
When one types ‘make clean’ and also ‘make distclean’ at the root level
and even ‘make clean’ in the libraries, the following two
stale files inside the directory libraries/Cabal/Cabal:
ghc.mk and GNUMakefile
are NOT deleted! Shouldn’t they be deleted? They are not tracked in git
so they must be temporary.
Those files should be deleted by 'make maintainer-clean', which is
normally the first thing done by validate. I just checked in my tree
and they are gone after 'make maintainer-clean'.
Are you sure you weren't doing 'sh validate --no-clean'?
Cheers,

Manually deleting these files and doing ‘sh validate’ from scratch seems
to work for me now.
Thanks!

Friends, after a make clean and make distclean I try to 'sh validate'
again on my own branch and got the following:

So everything is built and I am at the point where I am supposed to
start installing and testing but something fails.
Admittedly I did fiddle with my cabal database a bit before doing this,
including upgrading cabal, but I have no clue
what could be going wrong. Is anyone else getting this or got this in
the past?
Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this message, so that
I go and fix my installation?
Thanks!
