Comment (by mitchty):

 Note, for 8.4.2 or anything using llvm as the backend, you'll need to
 adjust the llvm-targets like so:
 https://github.com/alpinelinux/aports/pull/4255/commits/adc976d03f8101300f2f4d73b782859edb4b3c1f
 #diff-8ac9400d01cb6d2dd0f7486ac80d2ec4R103

 Basically:

     sed -i -e 's/unknown-linux-gnueabihf/alpine-linux/g' llvm-targets
     sed -i -e 's/unknown-linux-gnueabi/alpine-linux/g' llvm-targets
     sed -i -e 's/unknown-linux-gnu/alpine-linux/g' llvm-targets

 The llvm triples that are in place for alpine linux are different from the
 defaults expected. Most other changes for alpine linux have been merged
 upstream into ghc so the base source is mostly there.

 I remember asking in the ghc irc channel that depending on the llvm
 triples should go away entirely. I'd be all for that in this case for 8.6!
