You really need to go through the cross-compilation process to get GHC built on your platform. Follow the instructions in section 10.2 to get an unregisterised build, and from that you can build GHC again to get a registerised version. (in theory it's possible to cross-compile straight to a registerised version since your target architecture is already supported, but we haven't gone to the trouble of testing and documenting that process, so you'd be on your own).
