Comment:
@tibbe yes, we have been moving in that direction, in particular a GHC
build contains all the native code generators, with the one exception that
the choice between x86 and x86_64 is still a compile-time decision. A lot
of the work that Ian has been doing lately is heading towards making the
backend a runtime decision, but there's still some way to go.
