Hi,

We need support in this package for the riscv64 architecture.

Adian Glaubitz cross-compiled the package using the patch:

  https://lists.debian.org/debian-riscv/2018/07/msg00007.html

Patches are already being applied upstream to support this arch:

  https://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/commit/beba89a0f16681c85d39fc8a894bde4162ff492a
  https://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/commit/5e63a25249f3cb07300258e115af9ff55079d2ea
  https://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/commit/e175aaf6918bb2b497b83618dc4c270a0d231a1c


It would be great if you could include these changes and release a new version
for unstable, it will live in "unreleased" for a time until then.


Thanks and cheers.
