  The latter was probably broken anyway.

  If there is interest in restoring support for these architectures, it should be possible to cross‐compile a bootstrap GHC binary.



- `haskellPackages` and the package sets under `haskell.packages` no longer expose an `llvmPackages` attribute,

  though it can still be accessed via `ghc.llvmPackages` (from the same package set).

  Haskell packages usually only need to depend on an LLVM version matching GHC if they force the use the LLVM

  backend even if NCG is available. In this case, it is best to use the `forceLlvmCodegenBackend` helper.

  In all other cases, like linking against `libLLVM`, Haskell packages should use the appropriate version of `llvmPackages` from `pkgs`.



- `base16-builder` node package has been removed due to lack of upstream maintenance.



- `python3Packages.bjoern` has been removed, as the upstream is unmaintained and it depends on a 14-year-old version of http-parser with numerous vulnerabilities.
