Haskell Platform doesn't build on Fedora 17

I'm unable to build the latest haskell platform using GHC 7.6.3 (built from source).

The error is:

Building HUnit-1.2.5.2
"/usr/local/bin/ghc" "--make" "Setup" "-o" "Setup" "-package" "Cabal-1.16.0"
Linking Setup ...
"./Setup" "configure" "--package-db=../../packages/package.conf.inplace" "--prefix=/usr/local" "--with-compiler=/usr/local/bin/ghc" "--with-hc-pkg=/usr/local/bin/ghc-pkg" "--with-hsc2hs=/usr/local/bin/hsc2hs" "--enable-library-profiling" "--ghc-pkg-option=--package-conf=../../packages/package.conf.inplace"
Configuring HUnit-1.2.5.2...
Setup: Use of GHC's environment variable GHC_PACKAGE_PATH is incompatible with
Cabal. Use the flag --package-db to specify a package database (it can be used
multiple times).

Error:
Configuring the HUnit-1.2.5.2 package failed
make: *** [build.stamp] Error 2

If I comment out line that starts:

GHC_PACKAGE_PATH="${ORIG_GHC_PACKAGE_PATH}"\

Then the build will continue.

Another person has had this issue and reported it in a reddit comment: reddit

They report that their distribution is Slackware.

My version of /bin/sh is reported as:

[root@blobattack haskell-platform-2013.2.0.0]# /bin/sh --version
