Fwd: Trying to compile GHC under Ubuntu as a cross-compiler for ARM

[eng. Vassil Ognyanov Keremidchiev]

Hello!

Thanks, it continued with building until some LLVM errors.
But will --with-gcc= arm based compiler will create GHC with:
Host: x86 Ubuntu (where compilation should happen)
Target: ARMv7 Linux ?

Because I don't want to have GHC on my slow and restricted ARM machine.

Best regards,
  Vassil
