Comment (by asuffield):
Here's a first cut at a solution. The central issue is that ghc has its
own set of configuration names that are not precisely the same as gnu ones
(this is unfortunate). What I did here was to:
* Restore the autoconf macros that work out canonical gnu configuration
names, which were removed in 6.12
* ...but for the autodetection case, use the names from the bootstrapping
ghc rather than autoconf; hence, the macros are used only to process
arguments given to configure. This preserves the fixes to #1717 and #2951
* Add some macros that convert from gnu names to ghc ones; these should
be considerably more robust than the old stuff from 6.10
