 For reference, I tried to use your build on my rpi, under Raspbian, with
 some success. Ghci doesn't work though (the illegal instruction error even
 occurs one package earlier, when linking integer-gmp).

 I compiled quite a few packages succesfully. However, installing
 vector-0.10.9.1 fails: when compiling the module
 Data.Vector.Fusion.Stream.Monadic, ghc tries to link in the integer-gmp
 package, and this fails. This reminds me of #8212.
