Which step of the bootstrap is this? It looks like the configure script has failed to detect the version of GHC installed on your system.
cd H/ghc && make boot && make in section 10.2.1 of the build guide.
Actually I just double checked and I don't get those lines of the error when doing cross-compiling. Sorry grabbed the first set of errors I saw. It is the same minus those test messages for the cross-compiling:
