Comment (by kolmodin):

 Right. Given the three options; I think these are the results from our
 perspective;

  * You do the normalisation, which means work for you to keep up
  * Close as wont-fix means that we have to do it instead. Or, we could
 hack the ebuilds not to use {{{econf}}} but rather call {{{./configure}}}
 ourselves.
  * Using {{{--ghc-{host,build,target}}}} would mean the problem goes away
 as far as I know

 I think option 2 and 3 looks most attractive.
 With option 3, what could the consequences be? Would things break for
 other people?
