Comment (by glaubitz):

 Just cloned ghc from git, applied the patch and cross-compiled it.

 Unfortunately, it segfaults right away:


 {{{
 root at pacman:~> ./ghc
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)
 root at pacman:~> file ./ghc
 ./ghc: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, Motorola m68k, 68020, version 1 (SYSV),
 dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld.so.1, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0,
 BuildID[sha1]=b7cc59d2d71bcb64fef73c1628602253f24bfa9f, not stripped

 }}}

 Will remove the patch and test again, just to make sure it's not a general
 issue with ghc 8.x on m68k.
