Comment:

 Interesting, I wasn't aware those variables don't correspond to what
 Autoconf handles when landing the related change
 (https://phabricator.haskell.org/D1960)

 Somewhat related: looking for `TargetPlatformAll` in the GHC tree, I
 noticed

 {{{
 rules/build-package-data.mk:$1_$2_CONFIGURE_OPTS += --configure-
 option=--host=$(TargetPlatformFull)
 }}}

 which seems a bit odd.
