Can't install 32-bit ghc-7.8.1 on 64-bit xubuntu 14.04

[kyra]

ia32-libs is absent on modern Ubuntus.

But if anyone is interested installing lib32ncurses5 and libgmp10:i386 
did the 'configure' trick.

But now 'make install' fails with:
"utils/ghc-cabal/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-cabal-bindist" register 
libraries/ghc-prim dist-install 
"/home/awson/data/ghc-7.8.1-i386/lib/ghc-7.8.1/bin/ghc"

"/home/awson/data/ghc-7.8.1-i386/lib/ghc-7.8.1" ''

ghc-cabal: Bad interface file: dist-install/build/GHC/CString.hi
magic number mismatch: old/corrupt interface file? (wanted 33214052, got 
129742)
