At this point I would suggest doing a "make clean", then running the bootstrap script and configure again before rebuilding.
I just tried building from a clean checkout with the same build.mk.
./boot
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ghc/ghc-HEAD
make -j4
make install
This resulted in the same error:
"/usr/local/ghc/ghc-HEAD/lib/ghc-8.3.20170428/bin/ghc-pkg" --force --global-package-db "/usr/local/ghc/ghc-HEAD/lib/ghc-8.3.20170428/package.conf.d" update rts/dist/package.conf.install

Hi Erik,
Thanks for the info. Is there a way to tell what version of Cabal was used to build GHC?
I actually don't think that's relevant.
I've tried the latest cabal-install from Hackage and from master on GitHub with no luck.
Either of those should be fine.
Also the Cabal git submodule in the GHC checkout is pointed to 41f416bc2, which seems to be Cabal-2.0.0.0.
That is correct (and also not relevant).
Since you are using the correct version of cabal, my guess at the problem being with the version of cabal is almost certainly wrong.
