Hi Leksah maintainers.

Excerpts from dann frazier's message of Qui Ago 12 23:07:06 -0300 2010:

GHC -threaded option only works in x86 arches (i386 and amd64).  Is it really
needed in all cases?  Maybe, if you want to keep -threaded as default, you can
create a threaded flag, like how it is done in hlint[0].  This was included in
hlint after the same bug[1] happened with this package.

Greetings.
