configure fails for GHC 6.10.4 on Mac OS X 10.6 in 64-bit mode with previously-built GHC

The environment is a Mac with 10.6 running in 64-bit mode but with a ghc that was built under 10.5.

Running configure produces the following output:

configure: error: cannot determine current directory

Changing this to the usual pwd commands makes the configure run complete, but make fails immediately with a similar trace.
