Comment (by cal@…):

 I'm not entirely sure the ghc-bootstrap port affects the architectures ghc
 can actually use. Think of a C compiler: A compiler compiled in i386 can
 still generate x86_64 code. Somebody would have to evaluate, if this is
 actually possible (and if it is, add depends_skip_archcheck ghc-bootstrap
 to the ghc port).

 Technically it would also be possible to provide a universal ghc-bootstrap
 port using lipo and merging. I'm not going to put a lot of effort into
 that, though…
