Include header file `ghcautoconf.h` where the CPP macro
`WORDS_BIGENDIAN` is defined. This finally fixes #17337 (in conjunction
with commit 6c59cc71dc).
Commit af9b744bbf1 introduced a regression stopping existing unregisterised
compilers from being able to compile newer versions of GHC. The problem is
that the bootstrap compiler uses the newer `includes/stg/MiscClosures.h` file
where some defines have been renamed, resulting in the following error:
.
error: ‘stg_atomicModifyMutVarzh’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘stg_atomicModifyMutVar2zh’?
.

This patch can be removed, once ghc-8.6 is no longer the bootstrap compiler.

Bug: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/17111
In order to be able to perform a cross-build, we need to use
the stage1 binaries during installation. Both ghc and ghc-pkg
are run during the install target and therefore must be able
to run on the build machine.
Gbp-Pq: Name use-stage1-binaries-for-install.patch
This patch enables a few native 64-bit integer instructions
on x32 which are available on this architecture despite using
32-bit pointers. These instructions are present on x86_64 but
not on x86 and ghc checks the size of (void *) to determine
that. This method fails on x32 since despite using 32-bit
pointers and hence sizeof(void *) == 4, it still uses the
full x86_64 instruction set and software-emulated variants
of the aforementioned 64-bit integer instructions are
therefore not present in the toolchain which will make ghc
fail to build on x32.

in that particular variant (16 double registers) or we had a different naming
for some reason.
