Error while compiling cross-compiler

[Eric Schug]

After reading over the wiki it sounds like these are only used for stage 
2 compiler, which includes ghci and template haskell.
Is that correct?
I have the executable ghc-stage1 so I guess that is as much as 
functionality I will get for cross-compiling to raspberry pi.
Are there optimization features that are missing from the stage 1 compiler?
Why must template haskell support only work with the stage 2 compiler 
which can only run on the target platform.
Could not a compiler be built (of either stage 1 or stage 2) which 
includes template haskell and which runs on host the host?
Or some how use host version of ghc to handle the template haskell 
elements working in conjunction with the cross compiler stage 1 
compiler, to generate the complete code.
