Support for cross-compiling GHC has been merged into Nixpkgs, so it is now possible to boot RISC-V GHC by cross-compiling from a supported platform.
fgaz this might have broken your ShellCheck fix, because GHC now claims that it supports all platforms even though it cannot be evaluated on exotic platforms unless a boot compiler is provided.

Next step: adding boot GHC binaries for RISC-V (and maybe some other platforms) to remove the need to cross-compile; these binaries can now be built entirely from Nixpkgs and upstream binaries.

@fgaz:matrix.orgfgazcan we host those binaries autonomously somehow? like the bootstrap files13:12:18
@alex:tunstall.xyzAlex That's the current plan, yes.
There's still some discussion to be had about how to upload those files.
