Marge Bot pushed to branch master at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 81577fe7 by Ben Gamari at 2025-08-02T04:29:39-04:00 configure: Allow override of CrossCompiling As noted in #26236, the current inference logic is a bit simplistic. In particular, there are many cases (e.g. building for a new libc) where the target and host triples may differ yet we are still able to run the produced artifacts as native code.
