For posterity's sake: I actually got this figured out already. First, I
downloaded the binary version of GHC 6.8.3 and installed it without
issues. Then I used it to build the sources of GHC 6.10.4 and install
them. Then I used 6.10.4 to build and install 6.12.3. Then 7.0.4, then
7.2.2, then 7.4.2, and finally 7.6.3.

Had no problems doing it that way, except for the optimization flags
issue in the 7.* series which I mentioned in my other thread. That was
easily fixed by setting the build.mk to the "quick" build profile.
