I don't think this fix will cover armhf, where GHCi is present:
$ ghc --info | grep 'Have interpreter'
,("Have interpreter","YES")
... but broken:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7794
I don't know what would be best here, as I haven't managed to nail down
a proper fix yet; would it be worth explicitly excluding armhf in
doctest for now, or would it be better to disable GHCi on armhf until
it's fixed properly (which will probably require some set of packages to
be removed on armhf), or something else?
