The order looks strange to me. The compiler may have to be built before
ghc/lib. Try
cd ghc/compiler; gmake all; cd ../..; gmake all

Oh, it isn't too annoying. Some minutes of compilation time don't matter
since ghc-2.05 takes over 40 hours on a 486-133 MHz with 32 Megs of RAM,
before even completing ghc/compiler... :->>>
