[Patch] Android cross compile support

[Karel Gardas]

Hi,

it should not be that hard to install android on one of my 2 arm boards. 
The problem is that for Android you need to cross compile and I'm not 
sure if current GHC testsuite supports some kind of remote testing on 
the target board at all. I've not seen such support there yet.
