You mean it _tries_ to use it, because it’s not available in chroot builds, right? > # ./configure --target=mips64el-linux \ > > --with-gcc=/nix/store/khdyz3i5aih56lxfk6hjvp3884apm7qb-gcc-cross-mips64el-linux-gnu-4.7.2/bin/mips64el-linux-gnu-gcc > \ > > --with-ld=/nix/store/bqw0chxysv4x73mf6bv7jqmgy7553xqh-binutils-cross-mips64el-linux-gnu-2.22/bin/mips64el-linux-gnu-ld > \ > > --with-nm=/nix/store/khdyz3i5aih56lxfk6hjvp3884apm7qb-gcc-cross-mips64el-linux-gnu-4.7.2/bin/mips64el-linux-gnu-gcc-nm > > However, the above doesn't work.

(For instance because ghc-pwd is a program to run during the build, so it needs to be a native program.) Does it have --with-target-gcc or similar in addition to --with-gcc? If not, you should find the Makefile that triggers the faulty /usr/bin/ld invocation above, and see if you could patch it somehow. Wild guesses & free advice. ;-) Ludo’.
