GHC + LLVM Cross Compiler

Description

LLVM has support for many new backends, such as ARM. The challenge is to use this ability to generate native code for other architectures to turn GHC into a cross-compiler (so we could produce, e.g. ARM executables on an x86/Linux box). This will involve linker and build system hacking.

Cool project but there doesn't seem to be a demand for this at the moment.
