Install fails on Windows

When I do sh validate I get

Turns out that INSTALL_LIBEXECS is empty:

sh-2.04$ make show VALUE=INSTALL_LIBEXECS
make -r --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk show
INSTALL_LIBEXECS=""

Simon did a patch on ghc.mk for this

sh-2.04$ darcs what ghc.mk
What's new in "ghc.mk":

hunk ./ghc.mk 756
+ifneq "$(INSTALL_LIBEXECS)" ""
hunk ./ghc.mk 760
+endif

But then something similar happens later:

I give up. Ian, can you fix this please? I'll discard Simon's patch... it's not even clear to me that INSTALL_LIBEXECS should ever be empty.
