Comment (by MikolajKonarski):

 I get the original problem (the need to manually insert --ld-
 option="-melf_i386") already when using a 32bit GHC on 64bit Linux (no
 proper cross-compilation):

 It would be helpful if that and other parameters where inserted
 automatically based on HOST/BUILD/TARGET.
