Cannot have GHC in ARMv6 architecture

Hi, sorry for not sending a CC to the mailing list, works differently
from others I've used

That was actually just the 1st thing I tried, then as I said:

So, when doing that, configure works (the logs were for the previous
attempts). But why is that when I try to make, with a working configure,
and a real sysroot, that I get the following error?

ghc-stage1 logically does not work, although it is created.

I hope this is clearer. Cheers,
