HEAD: make clean fails to delete libraries/bootstrapping.conf (directory)

"rm" -f libraries/bootstrapping.conf libraries/integer-gmp/cbits/GmpDerivedConstants.h libraries/integer-gmp/include/HsIntegerGmp.h libraries/integer-gmp2/include/HsIntegerGmp.h libraries/base/include/EventConfig.h mk/config.mk.old mk/project.mk.old compiler/ghc.cabal.old includes/GHCConstants.h includes/DerivedConstants.h includes/ghcautoconf.h includes/ghcplatform.h includes/ghcversion.h utils/ghc-pkg/Version.hs compiler/prelude/primops.txt   
rm: cannot remove `libraries/bootstrapping.conf': Is a directory
make[1]: *** [clean_files] Error 1

Then I do

rm -r libraries/bootstrapping.conf
make clean

and this succeeds.

Now I build again:

make

and get an error:

"inplace/bin/ghc-cabal" configure libraries/binary dist-boot "" --with-ghc="/home/ggreif/bin/ghc" --with-ghc-pkg="/home/ggreif/bin/ghc-pkg"  --package-db=/home/ggreif/%NoBackup%/ghc7/ghc-head-x86_64/libraries/bootstrapping.conf --disable-library-for-ghci --enable-library-vanilla --disable-library-profiling --disable-shared --configure-option=CFLAGS=" -fno-stack-protector   " --configure-option=LDFLAGS="   " --configure-option=CPPFLAGS="   " --gcc-options=" -fno-stack-protector       " --configure-option=--with-gmp-includes="/home/ggreif/include"   --constraint "binary == 0.7.2.3"   --constraint "Cabal == 1.21.1.0"   --constraint "hpc == 0.6.0.2"   --constraint "bin-package-db == 0.0.0.0"   --constraint "hoopl == 3.10.0.2"   --constraint "transformers == 0.4.2.0"   --constraint "terminfo == 0.4.0.1" --with-gcc="/usr/bin/gcc" --configure-option=--with-cc="/usr/bin/gcc" --with-ar="/usr/bin/ar" --with-alex="/home/ggreif/bin/alex" --with-happy="/home/ggreif/bin/happy"
Configuring binary-0.7.2.3...

ghc-pkg: ghc no longer supports single-file style package databases

use 'ghc-pkg init' to create the database with the correct format.
make[1]: *** [libraries/binary/dist-boot/package-data.mk] Error 1

But the thing is created as a file now:

$ ls -l libraries/bootstrapping.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 ggreif grp 3 Dec 18 11:17 libraries/bootstrapping.conf

I can recreate it manually:

$ rm libraries/bootstrapping.conf
$ /home/ggreif/bin/ghc-pkg init libraries/bootstrapping.conf
$ ls -ld libraries/bootstrapping.conf
drwxr-xr-x 2 ggreif grp 96 Dec 18 11:23 libraries/bootstrapping.conf

And now make works...
