For completeness, I will bring this up with ARM/Linaro/upstream (fixing
the triplet) and then we'll get ghc built properly using LLVM. I will
also repeat my previous caveat that it seems we (Fedora) are building a
house of cards by growing dependencies on a second toolchain that we
don't have resources to support. But all the other distributions seem to
be quite happy to do the same in the interest of shiny shiny :)
