Comment:
Replying to [comment:8 guest]:
This clearly isn't a serious problem, if it's a problem at all. `uname
-m` on your system claims `ppc64`, so that's what GHC uses as its target
by default, and you can use `--build` to override it. I bet gcc does the
same thing. Prefixing the configure with `linux32` also overrides the
default.
You point out that there is an inconsistency that GHC's configure could
have detected: gcc's target is different from the default target that we
chose. Even if we detected that, I suspect the right behaviour is to fail
with a message suggesting the use of `--build`. I'll leave the bug open
but at a low priority.
