amd64 is already set to be registerised in the next version, but I
haven't managed to upload it yet due to the various problems discussed
elsewhere. Will hopefully happen RSN though...

Currently I have this for most arches:

    echo "GhcUnregisterised=YES" >> mk/build.mk
    echo "SplitObjs=NO" >> mk/build.mk

I'll add

    echo "GhcWithNativeCodeGen=NO" >> mk/build.mk

Is there anything else you'd recommend?
