Actually we also stash the configuration in ./dist/setup-config so that gets created at configure time. Galchin's problem is that something goes wrong during the configure and so nothing gets created in dist. From the log it looks like ghc or ld are failing during one of the early tests we do when configuring ghc. To make debugging this kind of thing a bit less mysterious in future Cabal now logs in greater detail what happens when it calls external programs (when invoked at the highest verbosity level).
