GHC iOS make binary-dist

[Luke Iannini]

Aha. Looks like the "target word size" is incorrect in the binary-dist
version.
Here's arm-apple-darwin10ghc --info (i.e., the binary-dist version)
http://lpaste.net/99489

and here's arm-apple-darwin10-ghc --info (from a working 'make install'ed
version)
http://lpaste.net/99490

A bad settings file, I guess. I'll see if I can fix that...
Cheers
Luke
