Would it be worth transferring that comment into the building guide (a cross-compiling page perhaps). The distinction is subtle and the information is useful
There is http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/CrossCompilation but I'm not sure it has this info
Oh yes, I plan to fix the wiki. It needs more than just an update for this change though... the CrossCompilation page is really a design document, not a user guide, we need some proper documentation.
Ok, new wiki page is here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/CrossCompiling Please edit away. In particular I haven't investigated cross-compiling with LLVM, so if someone could add some info about that that would be great. I've also updated most of the old design doc: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/CrossCompilation Cheers, Simon
