Simple instructions for getting a GHC bootstrap binpkg using Debian binaries. See what architectures Debian has support for here: https://packages.debian.org/sid/ghc

I use as a wrapper around  so I don't have to remember flags.

Copy the contents over to. Careful with the path slashes!

Now replace absolute paths everywhere except in header files.

Translate Debian tuples to generic ones. You can find a listing here: https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Tuples

Add FFI headers to the global include path.

Refresh the environment and you should have a working GHC!

Recache the package database before attempting build.
