So ghc-stage1 is working. Good! Now just to find why your base is broken,
please rebuild ghc completely and this time does not use any -j 5 option.
It'll use just one core, but will stop on the first error. Let's see how far
you get.

Ah. Alright, it took a while longer.

You are using a new version of LLVM that hasn't been tested yet!
We will try though...

^ OK you can see this.

This is weird, I think I'm not even using LLVM.

This is not weird at all! GHC does not provide ARM NCG and so it is using LLVM if you compile ARM registerised build.
