llvm-toolchain-3.8 needs fix on armel, or ghc will be removed there.

Hi,

simple as it.

We would like to have only llvm-toolchain-3.8 and llvm-toolchain-3.9 in Stretch.

So, in case nobody has a patch/opinion on making llvm-3.8+ build/work on armel,
I'm afraid no haskell packages will be available there for Stretch.

Simple as this, keeping llvm-3.7 just for armel architecture seems an overkill,
we already removed armel once, and probably this will happen again.

You can see the bug report here [1] where some solutions are provided.

thanks!
