Build fails with cabal-bin complaining

The build of ghc 6.10.3 and 6.10.2 (I haven't tested others) on a Debian Etch (ghc 6.6) system fails like so (I am attaching a complete log as well):

Configuring ghc-6.10.3...
cabal-bin: At least the following dependencies are missing:
Cabal -any,
base <3,
filepath >=1 && <1.2,
haskell98 -any,
hpc -any,
template-haskell -any,
unix -any
make[3]: *** [boot.stage.2] Error 1

I am trying to build using the following Makefile (which ought to work based on my understanding of http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Using):

{{{ #!/usr/bin/make -f

ghc_version := 6.10.3 ghc_dir := ghc-$(ghc_version)

1. PHONY: ghc

ghc:

rm -rf $(ghc_dir)/

tar -xjf ghc-$(ghc_version)-src.tar.bz2

tar -xjf ghc-$(ghc_version)-src-extralibs.tar.bz2

cd $(ghc_dir)/ && ./configure --prefix=/tmp/g

sed -e 's@^#BuildFlavour = quickest@BuildFlavour = quickest@' $(ghc_dir)/mk/build.mk.sample \

>$(ghc_dir)/mk/build.mk

$(MAKE) -C $(ghc_dir)

}}}
