Hello!
I have successfully bootstrapped ghc for sparc64 on Debian unstable by cross-compiling it on amd64, then installing it manually into a build root and rebuild the Debian package.
Unfortunately, the buildds can currently neither compile ghc itself nor any Haskell packages as gcc always passes "-relax" to the GNU linker which will fail as ghc passes "-Wl,-r" [1]:

This issue has already been fixed in ghc but that was for sparc only and not sparc64 [2].
Thus, in order to be able to apply the same fix from [2], ghc needs to add sparc64 to its list of known architectures (currently "sparc64" matches to "ArchUnknown" in aclocal.m4") and then extend the fix from [2] to match *both* sparc *and* sparc64 (please don't drop sparc here).
In particular, I suggest adding sparc64 in the same way that Alpha, Mipseb and Mipsel were added [3], thus matching "sparc64" to "ArchSPARC64", then extending the if-clause from [4] to set "-Wl,-no- relax" for *both* ArchSPARC *and* ArchSPARC64.
Thanks, Adrian
