I felt it to be too hackish to actually propose that :-)

A proper fix would be to make the Binary Int representation arch
independent, or at least the Binary FastString:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3041

Actually, this is also a change we could do in Debian, together with a
new ghc upload (e.g. 6.10.2), if it doesn’t break anything else – and I
wouldn’t expect so, as we rebuild everything then anyways, and the
Binary class in ghc is only used there (it’s separate from Data.Binary,
AFAIK).

Greetings,
Joachim
