Cross-compiling Template Haskell via -fexternal-interpreter and IPC

[Alberto Valverde]

Hi Ben,

I've just found this email from almost a year ago. Sorry for ignoring it
until now. Given the date it was sent I think I missed it when it was fresh
while I was on vacation.

Regarding the question, I have abandoned the work I was doing on getting
cross-compilation for Windows to work since my employer decided a Windows
build for the app we were developing could wait some time and tasked me we
something else.

However, I see that Moritz is working on cross-compilation right now so
I'll try get some time to see if I can get his approach to work for our
use-case and give some feedback or help in any way.

Alberto
