 When an installation of GHC doesn't include the vanilla "way", GHC cannot
 be built from this existing installation of GHC.

 E.g. using the following mk/build.mk:
 {{{
     V = 0
     GhcLibWays = dyn
     SRC_HC_OPTS = -O -H64m
     GhcStage1HcOpts = -O -fasm
     GhcStage2HcOpts = -O2 -fasm
     GhcHcOpts = -Rghc-timing
     GhcLibHcOpts = -O2

     DYNAMIC_BY_DEFAULT = YES

     NoFibWays =
     STRIP_CMD = :
 }}}

 Steps to reproduce:
 1. build & install GHC using above configuration
 2. rebuild GHC using above configuration, --with-ghc pointing to the
 installation created in step 1
