make clean fails (in utils/hsc2hs?) on 6.10
make clean halts with an error message. Here's the tail of the output:
make -C hpc clean
/home/nr/net/ghc/2009-feb-dias/libraries/cabal-bin /usr/bin/ghc /home/nr/net/ghc/2009-feb-dias/libraries/bootstrapping.conf 1.7.0 clean --distpref dist-inplace

: nr@homedog 2958 I ran darcs-all get but this left me with an empty utils/hsc2hs directory, which turned out to be the cause of the problem. Removing the empty directory and re-running darcs-all get solved the problem. Not sure if this one is likely to recur, but I thought you should know about it. Perhaps ./configure ought to fail if a directory that should be nonempty is found to be empty?
