<literal>pkgs.ghc</literal> now refers to
<literal>pkgs.targetPackages.haskellPackages.ghc</literal>.
This <emphasis>only</emphasis> makes a difference if you are
cross-compiling and will ensure that
<literal>pkgs.ghc</literal> always runs on the host platform
and compiles for the target platform (similar to
<literal>pkgs.gcc</literal> for example).
<literal>haskellPackages.ghc</literal> still behaves as
before, running on the build platform and compiling for the
host platform (similar to <literal>stdenv.cc</literal>). This
means you dont have to adjust your derivations if you use
<literal>haskellPackages.callPackage</literal>, but when using
<literal>pkgs.callPackage</literal> and taking
<literal>ghc</literal> as an input, you should now use
<literal>buildPackages.ghc</literal> instead to ensure cross
