Hi Ben, What is the recommended way to build old versions of GHC? The haskell.org binaries for, e.g. 7.8.3, do not work on my machine. If I attempt to recompile ghc 7.8.3 with the haskell.org binary, I get linkage errors.
Actually I'd love to be able to bootstrap a build without any ghc installed... that would solve the problem. I heard about the "phase0" approach from Vitaly Bragilevsky at his Lambdaconf talk this year. But I've been unable to find any documentation about it.
