I have no idea what has gone wrong here.  We ought to be able to make
Compat/Directory.o.  However, we don't need ghccompat.o, so you could
try adding:

GhcWithInterpter=NO

to ghc/lib/compat/Makefile, right after the NO_INSTALL_LIBRARY setting.
If that doesn't work, please run 'make -p -d' in ghc/lib/compat and send
me the output.

Cheers,
