Hi Peter,
Thanks for the reply; that's very good to know.
I thought it was the same issue because I am getting the same "No rule to make 
target Prelude.hi needed by Main.o" message, and this is the only thing I found 
online that explains it. I haven't been able to reach anybody on #ghc, but 
maybe I should try again. Do you know any other reasons I might be getting this 
message? It seems like an odd one; I'm not sure why any makefiles/rules would 
be missing.

As a side note, I seem to have to run ./configure with a bunch of options like 
--with-curses-includes=/run/current-system/sw/include, since GHC apparently 
doesn't know where to look for these things. Did you have to do this when you 
built GHC? I think that most of the time nixos manages these for me, but for 
some reason this time it didn't.
