Description
As of #1214 cabal infers target from `ghc --info`. This information should be passed to ./configure with the `--target=` flag so it can correctly perform configuration for cross-compilation.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the existing handling of `ghc --info` introduced in #1214 and the code that invokes `./configure`. Confirm how the inferred target should be mapped to the `--target=` argument for cross-compilation. Done means the configure invocation receives the inferred target correctly.
