I did.

My xterm window doesn't have a big enough buffer. Should I run the
complete procedure (starting with make distclean) all over again,
diverting output and error to a file?
Yes, I normally do it like this: 'make |& tee log' (or if you're using an 
impoverished shell, 'make 2>&1 | tee log').

The build seems to be working smoothly for most people at the moment, so 
I'm fairly sure this is something specific to your setup somehow.  Could 
you check for things like local changes:

$ ./darcs-all w -s
$ ./push-all http://darcs.haskell.org/ --dry-run
