-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 When building binary distributions via `make binary-dist`, the resulting
 binaries in the package end up being compiled for the target instead of
 the host when cross compiling.

 E.g. building a cross compiler for iOS on macOS yields:
 {{{
 ./inplace/bin/ghc-cabal:                            Mach-O 64-bit
 executable x86_64
 ./utils/ghc-cabal/dist/build/tmp/ghc-cabal:         Mach-O 64-bit
 executable x86_64
 ./utils/ghc-cabal/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-cabal: Mach-O 64-bit
 executable arm64
 ./inplace/lib/bin/hsc2hs:                     Mach-O 64-bit executable
 x86_64
 ./utils/hsc2hs/dist/build/tmp/hsc2hs:         Mach-O 64-bit executable
 x86_64
 ./utils/hsc2hs/dist-install/build/tmp/hsc2hs: Mach-O 64-bit executable
 arm64
 }}}
 to just name `ghc-cabal` and `hsc2hs`.
