I want to build ghc for i586-alt-linux-gnu.
Why? :)
Why do not use config.guess to guess correct host/target/build instead of reinvent wheel?
While I sympathize (I gave up long ago trying to use host/target/build with ghc - we use them by default in Fedora) - I guess the short answer is something like cross-compiling is not supported or the effort to support host/target/build is more than the win? But those are just my assumptions - I leave a real answer to a ghc buildsystem expert. If you really want a fix searching trac and opening a ticket would be more effective probably.
