I saw there is ARM Aarch64 build, which is pretty cool!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.4.1 released
Hi! It says on the download page that the Windows versions is “excluding the Windows 10 Creator’s Update”. I’m assuming that is a copy-paste error from the release that fixed the Windows 10 CU bug.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.4.1 released
Hello, I tried to compile the latest bits on OpenIndiana (the open version of Solaris) and compilation never starts because: checking target system type... i386-pc-solaris2.11 Build platform inferred as: i386-unknown-solaris2 Host platform inferred as: i386-unknown-solaris2 Target platform inferred as: i386-unknown-solaris2 Unknown OS solaris2.11 The configure script mentions Solaris... On my system I get $ uname -m i86pc $ uname -r 5.11 $ uname -s SunOS $ uname -v illumos-87446a5213 Any idea that migh help me go beyond this point? Thanks in advance!
