Build Problem on arm

[Dirk Hünniger]

Hi Ilias Tsitsimpis,

Hi Matthias Klose,

there is a problem with the linked ld with ghc on armel and armhf. It is 
caused by malfunction related to the packages binutils and ghc. Can you 
fix it or should I try to remove these two architectures from my 
mediawiki2latex package? I am looking forward to any response even if 
negative. See detailed description below.

Yours Dirk
