Sean Leather:
I tried to build GHC "stable" on my two computers, a PowerBook G4 and
a MacBook, both running 10.5.2. This is the first time I've ever
tried, so I'm somewhat clueless about a lot of it. I went with the
basic instructions (./configure; make) with no 'mk/build.mk' and no
configure options other than '--prefix'.
[..]
The MacBook build apparently completed stage1 and failed in trying to
build stage2 (i.e. "-o stage2/ghc-inplace").

I can't help you with the PPC, but on the MacBook try building with

  make EXTRA_AR_ARGS=-s

It's a known bug with Cabal.
