Ah, I see what you mean. Does the attached patch work for you? If you have other build problems then autoreconf && ./configure && cat base.buildinfo in libraries/base should be enough to see if it works.
There is, however, still the problem that library and include paths passed to configure via the environment (like LDFLAGS, CPPFLAGS) aren't recognized by cabal, so even if configure is successfull, cabal (or ghc-pkg configure, in my case) will fail.
In rules/build-package-data.mk there are two lines: $1_$2_CONFIGURE_OPTS += --configure-option=CFLAGS="$$(filter-out -Werror,$$(SRC_CC_OPTS)) $$($1_CC_OPTS) $$($1_$2_CC_OPTS)" $1_$2_CONFIGURE_OPTS += --configure-option=LDFLAGS="$$(SRC_LD_OPTS) $$($1_LD_OPTS) $$($1_$2_LD_OPTS)" If you add two more lines: $1_$2_CONFIGURE_OPTS += --gcc-options="$$(filter-out -Werror,$$(SRC_CC_OPTS)) $$($1_CC_OPTS) $$($1_$2_CC_OPTS)" $1_$2_CONFIGURE_OPTS += --ld-options="$$(SRC_LD_OPTS) $$($1_LD_OPTS) $$($1_$2_LD_OPTS)" then does that fix the problem?
