GHC's Building Guide is a good place to start:

  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/building/building-guide.html

Although note that bootstrapping on a new platform using the 5.xx series is a little 
difficult due to the way we preprocess some of the library sources using hsc2hs 
(although it has been done by at least one brave soul).  You might want to start from 
4.08.2 using .hc files and bootstrap up to 5.02 from there.  4.08.2 is the oldest 
version we support building the current sources with.

We'll be here to provide guidance and moral support, as usual...

Cheers,
        Simon
