If GHC complains about base not having profile information, install haskell-platform-prof alongside your Haskell Platform installation:

$ sudo apt-get install haskell-platform haskell-platform-doc haskell-platform-prof

And reinstall any third-party libraries, and their dependencies, that have missing profile information:

$ sudo cabal install --reinstall -p mwc-random rvar random-fu random-source mersenne-random-pure64 stateref flexible-defaults th-extras MonadPrompt math-functions erf vector-th-unbox monad-loops random-shuffle MonadRandom

Emulating ARM on Debian/Ubuntu

You might want to read this to get an introduction to armel vs armhf.

If the below is too much, you can try Ubuntu-ARMv7-Qemu but note it contains non-free blobs.

Running ARM programs under linux (without starting QEMU VM!)

First, cross-compile user programs with GCC-ARM toolchain. Then install qemu-arm-static so that you can run ARM executables directly on linux

vmx options for OS X under VMWare
# These fields need to be in the vmx for OS X to function. You will probably need to delete the
# existing guestOS and ethernet0.virtualdev entries. You will also need to make sure the disk
# has been added as SCSI, and set as boot drive.
# You might also want to set a cron task as root in the VM to run:
# @reboot /usr/sbin/networksetup -detectnewhardware
# to make sure the VM configures networking
