 I don't know how the file `libraries/base/GNUMakefile` is generated. Maybe
 this is a cabal bug.

 My build of ghc-6.8.0.20071017 failed as follows:

 {{{
 ...
 t/build/Unsafe/Coerce_split -name '*.o' -print) | xargs -s 30000
 /usr/ccs/bin/ar
  q  dist/build/libHSbase-3.0.a
 xargs: 0 < max-cmd-line-size <= 2048: 30000
 xargs: Usage: xargs: [-t] [-p] [-e[eofstr]] [-E eofstr] [-I replstr]
 [-i[replstr
 ]] [-L #] [-l[#]] [-n # [-x]] [-s size] [cmd [args ...]]
 gmake[2]: *** [dist/build/libHSbase-3.0.a] Error 2
 }}}

 if I replace 30000 with 2048 compilation goes through, but I don't know if
 something is cut off.
