Hi,

I'm afraid I have a very bad news. So it goes boom again and it's like a nuclear bomb :(. So I'm still cross-compiling version 8.0.2 on GNU/Linux with arm-linux-gnueabi compiling suite. As reminders, my target architecture is armv7l soft-abi with neon FPU.

I have the following error at make step :


===--- building final phase

So I checked on Google and I found this:

   https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11058

Hmm...do I have some hope ?
