This is a little odd. What's happening is that cabal-bin doesn't know
how to build the ghc-prim package, so it compiles and uses Setup.hs
instead. So when you ask it to clean the package, it builds Setup and
does "./Setup clean".

Ah, I think that the problem is that you have setup directories left
over from a previous build.
rm -rf libraries/*/setup/
should sort that out, and they are no longer created.
Thanks
