 On my Mac, I have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of GHC 7.0.2 installed, and
 cabal installs the object and interface files into the same directory.

 The {{{$arch}}} variable looks like it should do the right thing, but in
 fact it's expanded to whatever architecture cabal-install was built for,
 not the architecture that's supported by GHC itself.
