Comment (by rwbarton):

 The description touches on two issues: (1) being able to cross-compile at
 all and (2) being able to generate code for several different targets with
 the same compiler by using command-line switches. We have (1) currently
 (though it's a bit DIY), but not (2). But I'll let someone else file a
 feature request for (2) if they want it, since I'm not convinced it's
 sufficiently more valuable than just having one ghc installed for each
 target.
