Description

Similar to https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/issues/3878

I believe every core project should have a top-level Makefile that allows to easily build release bindists. It shouldn't handle installation of toolchain, but all the other logic required to build the correct bindist on different platforms.

It should have reasonable defaults (e.g. `ADD_CABAL_ARGS`, `PLATFORM` etc.).

We discussed something similar once. I think this is a necessary step and a low-hanging fruit.
