I’m not sure what the news are here: Debian has provided ghc6 on arm at
least since Debian etch in 2006 (GHC 6.6), and the first Debian release
with ghc6 (Debian sarge) ships it on alpha hppa i386 ia64 m68k powerpc
s390 and sparc (GHC 6.2). All these are not cross-compiled, but natively
compiled on the repective architecture, and I don’t think it is easily
possible to cross-compile GHC itself even today. (All data from

Greetings,
Joachim
