Comment (by cetu86):

 I did the maintainer-clean, then a

 {{{
 perl boot
 }}}

 and then again

 {{{
 ./configure --target=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi --enable-unregisterised
 --with-gcc=`which arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc` --with-nm=/usr/bin/nm
 --prefix=/home/daniel/haskell/ghc-build  && make quick-cross
 }}}
 Now I get

 {{{

 }}}

 Again, it's seems like it's trying to compile gmp with an arm compiler for
 x64, or am I wrong?
