bootstrap from ghc-7.4.2-11.2.fc19 x86_64 and ppc64
do you think it is enough for trying in ubuntu?

ppc64 (i.e. big-endian) isn't the same as ppc64el (i.e. little-endian).
The architecture isn't endian-switchable in userspace.  So no, I'm
afraid that doesn't help much; it still leaves us bootstrapping from
scratch.

 I opened a bug for that but I should probably add [FFe] to it because after
 all we are past the Feature Freeze. Also sorry for adding needs-packaging I
 probably shouldn't add that right because those packages are already in
 ubuntu archives they just need updating.

 I used the PPA of Debian usb-modeswitch maintainer and it didn't cause any
 troubles. My modem was already supported by the old packages available in
 Ubuntu repos.

 Below is a copy of text from Bug Description:

 The upstream released new versions of usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data
 on January 28th and 29th 2014.

 http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/

 This version supports many more usb modems than the one currently available
 in Trusty besides those packages haven't been updated for a very, very long
 time in Ubuntu.

 The packages are already available in Debian Testing and Unstable.

 https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=usb-modeswitch

 Besides that the maintainer of the USB_ModeSwitch Debian package has set up
 a PPA providing this most recent release.

 https://launchpad.net/~odyx/+archive/usb-modeswitch

 NOTE: there is also a similar bug report from users that want the latest
 usb-modeswitch on Trusty.
