I built the arm64 bootstraps now. They are in cvs:~gnezdo/snapshot. If
somebody with an arm64 machine wants to give this a whirl, it'd be
great.

I still need to figure out what to do about about PLIST as amd64 build
of ghc insists on using x86_64 in pathnames. If somebody has a readymade
example of dealing with this, I'll gladly copy that.

Thanks
