patch

Hi,

I've managed to build the "registerised" version of ghc-8.4.1 for armv6, armv7
and aarch64 with the attached patch and the following bootstrap compilers:
http://mikael.urankar.free.fr/FreeBSD/aarch64/ghc-8.4.1-boot-aarch64-unknown-freebsd.tar.xz
http://mikael.urankar.free.fr/FreeBSD/arm/ghc-8.4.1-boot-armv6-unknown-freebsd.tar.xz
http://mikael.urankar.free.fr/FreeBSD/arm/ghc-8.4.1-boot-armv7-unknown-freebsd.tar.xz

They're based on 12-CURRENT (I don't have time or resources to do the same work
on -RELEASE or -STABLE.)

Building ghc under emulation (with qemu-user-static) doesn't work.

There is an issue with CABAL_ARCH, it's always set to x86_64 even for arm* arch
and I don't know how to fix it:
root at 12armv7: uname -p
armv7
root at 12armv7: make -C textproc/hs-case-insensitive -V CABAL_ARCH
x86_64

Templates/config.sub and Templates/config.guess should be in a separate bug
report, I'll do that later.

My patch wasn't tested at all on amd64.
