For the Haskell Platform I did the build on Debian Jessie using docker. I
haven't tried to share the images, but I worked from these notes:
https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/blob/master/notes/building-ghc-docker

That was the first time I ever used docker. Perhaps in the future we can
combine efforts to reduce duplication? I've been trying to figure out if we
can use this setup to cross compile a 32bit build as well, but it seems
like 32bit containers are not supported. I think for a cross compile that
true 32bit support is unnecessary so I'm not quite ready to give up on the
idea.

Thanks,
Jason
