I'm trying to package a binary version of GHC (attached), which fails
with the following error:

/nix/store/snrdydzbrw9aqnz569k73dmk67wn1akv-my-coreutils-8.20/bin/install -c -m 755 -d "/nix/store/gy7g3k7bwpaf7pvm70d0rn8xh8b7rq6h-ghc-bin-7.0.1/lib/ghc-7.0.1/package.conf.d"

I'm not sure what causes the problem.  I don't see anything strange in
makefiles.  Should I patch executables?  Here is a relevant snippet from
'6.12.1-binary.nix':

    (if stdenv.isLinux then ''
      find . -type f -perm +100 \
          -exec patchelf --interpreter "$(cat $NIX_GCC/nix-support/dynamic-linker)" \
          --set-rpath "${ncurses}/lib:${gmp}/lib" {} \;
      sed -i "s|/usr/bin/perl|perl\x00        |" ghc-${version}/ghc/stage2/build/tmp/ghc-stage2
      sed -i "s|/usr/bin/gcc|gcc\x00        |" ghc-${version}/ghc/stage2/build/tmp/ghc-stage2
      for prog in ld ar gcc strip ranlib; do
        find . -name "setup-config" -exec sed -i "s@/usr/bin/$prog@$(type -p $prog)@g" {} \;
      done
     '' else "");

What do you think?

P.S. I'm using a previous version of 'coreutils' (i.e., 'my-coreutils'),
which should be removed from the recipe.

Most likely that’s because of the ELF interpreter, which needs to be
patched.

Try ‘strings .../ghc-pkg | grep ld-linux’, and notice how the file name
is wrong.

PatchELF allows you to fix that.

This part is what I’m referring to.

You may need to port these tricks as well.  :-)

HTH,
