Comment (by cetu86):

 Thanks again, for the reply. :-)
 Don't know why I thought passing "quick-perf" as an argument to make would
 choose the flavor.
 I now did as you said, created a build.mk from build.mk.sample and set
 {{{
 BuildFlavour  = quick-cross
 }}}
 which pulls in

 {{{
 INTEGER_LIBRARY    = integer-simple
 }}}
 I only need the simple cross-compiler (at the moment).
 Now I come as far as

 TH stands for template haskell, right?
