GHC is trying to build GHCI in stage 1, because it thinks you have a compatible compiler. In fact, you have a slightly older 6.5 installed. However (as I think I mentioned before) we don't officially support building GHC using a random snapshot, because it would be impractical to do so.
I'm not sure I understand this. How do you guys work then? Do you always build ghc 6.5 using ghc 6.4? What about the time-honored technique of bootstrapping using yourself?
As a workaround, you can 'make GhcWithInterpreter=NO' in compiler/ when building stage 1.
Still doesn't build after make clean in compiler and then a no-ghci
