do you guys thing telling ghc to emit C and then compiling that for arm
is a better route than
getting direct compilation to work?
If you look on the GHC-on-ARM page[1], you'll find my attempts to
bootstrap GHC 6.6 (the last version where cross-compiling GHC actually
worked) to ARM.
The only success I had was in using jhc (not GHC) to generate portable
C, which cross-compiled and ran fine (on my Nokia N810). GHC's C
wouldn't compile out of the box, and I'm not sure what libraries or
other hackery is required to make it do so.
Details of the failed cross-compilation and success with jhc are on the
wiki page[1].
I'd love to have this working, but I have no time at all this term.

Have you considered trying to bootstrap ghc with jhc?
Regards,
Unfortunately this is not possible. The Haskell code in GHC relies on
some GHC-only extensions. jhc can't compile GHC because it doesn't have
those extensions. jhc can't even compile itself, since it too relies on
those extensions.
