On installing the binary distribution out of the box, I get a similar
error. As the error occurs after it has done the important stuff, it
doesn't matter.
./configure
gmake in-place
yields:
(carol fptools) gmake in-place
gmake config-pkgs bindir=`pwd`/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2/ghc-2.10

The last syntax error is caused, I *think*, by the fact that
PACKAGE_SH_SCRIPTS is empty, which yields @for i in ; do
