 Hello!

 I am currently bootstrapping ghc for sh4 in Debian.

 In order to get the ghc build scripts detect sh4 as a valid architecture,
 I had to make local changes to aclocal.m4. With these changes, sh4 is
 properly detected as an architecture and I can both cross-build for sh4 as
 well as build ghc on this platform natively.

 Please apply the supplied patch so that we do not have to carry this patch
 in the Debian package [1] anymore.

 Thanks,
 Adrian
