I can't reproduce this. The ghc path that I configure with is passed
through correctly for me:

hpc$ mv ../bootstrapping.conf ../bootstrapping.conf.tmp

hpc$ /home/ian/ghc/darcs/ghc/libraries/cabal-bin /usr/bin/ghc /home/ian/ghc/darcs/ghc/libraries/bootstrapping.conf configure --distpref=dist-bootstrapping --with-compiler=/usr/bin/ghc --with-hc-pkg=/usr/bin/ghc-pkg --package-db=/home/ian/ghc/darcs/ghc/libraries/bootstrapping.conf.tmp

hpc$ /home/ian/ghc/darcs/ghc/libraries/cabal-bin /usr/bin/ghc /home/ian/ghc/darcs/ghc/libraries/bootstrapping.conf build --distpref=dist-bootstrapping -v
