Comment (by mfox):

 Thank you, but it doesn't work for me. I think there's an ABI difference
 between armv7 and armv8. All executables give:

     cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

 One approach I'm pursuing, there's an Ubuntu PPA that builds GHC
 nightlies. https://launchpad.net/~hvr

 If they were to enable arm64 builds then it would just happen. Supposedly,
 launchpad will do this if you just ask them so I'm trying to figure out
 how to ask them.
