Comment (by bgamari):

 I rebased my [[https://github.com/bgamari/ghc/tree/riscv|branch]] which
 sets the groundwork for building GHC targetting RISC-V using the LLVM
 backend. When I started this effort in Fall of 2016 there was no usable
 LLVM support for RISC-V. Today the situation is a bit better with the
 [[LowRISC port|https://github.com/lowRISC/riscv-llvm/]]. Someone will need
 to add support for the GHC calling convention to this port.
