I figured it out!
theres a mini configure.ac generated by distrib/configure.ac.in thats used
to setup the ghc settings file at install time!
https://github.com/cartazio/ghc/tree/cpp_silly-contrib-configure-in is my
current set of patches, though it needs some rebasing, cleanup, and code
review etcetc,
will update the (admittedly too long ) trac ticket with this info

Hey all, I'm trying to get my CPP_Setttings patch to validate, and i'm trying to understand why my validate is failing. At this point im stumped and I really could use some help!
This looks like the key information:
Building xhtml-3000.2.1... Preprocessing library xhtml-3000.2.1... ghc: could not execute:
Ghc is reporting that it could not execute "". This suggests the commandline for external preprocessing is incorrectly formed.
