virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory
`gcc' failed in phase `C Compiler'. (Exit code: 1)

See:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=ghc&arch=hppa&ver=9.4.6-1&stamp=1693300415&raw=0

This can be avoided by adding hppa to arches that need -optcggc-min-expand=10:
ifneq (,$(filter i386 hppa mips mipsel s390x, $(DEB_HOST_ARCH)))

Probably, all 32-bit arches need this option.

Regards,
Dave Anglin
