x86-64 unknown-linux

[Austin Seipp]

On Linux, the builds are keyed by the OS name they were built on. This is
because systems like CentOS have different versions of libgmp, glibc than
e.g. Debian derivatives. So they actually refer to different paths, are
built against different APIs depending on what's available, etc. That's why
the names are distinguished; in the past only Debian-based builds were
offered, but I started building CentOS versions in the 7.8.x era.

The debian-based builds are normally the 'lowest common denominator' that
works on all modern systems. Given that, you want:

https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.0.1/ghc-8.0.1-x86_64-deb8-linux.tar.xz

If you have a problem, just yell.
