Comment(by PHO):
I am the current maintainer of [http://pkgsrc.se/wip/ghc pkgsrc-wip/ghc].
I've been regularly booting GHC via C sources because [http://pkgsrc.org/
pkgsrc] packages are supposed to bootstrap solely with a C compiler, just
like FreeBSD Ports and Gentoo Portage. That way we could avoid annoying
problems like binaries depending on an incompatible libc.
On the other hand, I know very well that supporting HC bootstrap
complicates the entire GHC system unacceptably. So if you stop supporting
that, I'll switch to binary bootstrapping anyway.
