No, it is not possible to build GHC without GHC. Building GHC on ARM is
going to be extremely tricky (I'm not sure anyone has ever done it).
What you should be able to do easily with the next release is
cross-compile to ARM through the LLVM backend.

Hi Cafe,
I hope this is the right place to ask this kind of stuff.
I would like to try ghc on a panda board (armv7l) with arch linux.
There is apparently no pre-built package, so I was trying the
instructions to build, from here:
<http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Porting>.
However, I still seem to need a ghc and ghc-pkg installed: I am getting
this error message:
....

---------
Does anyone know if it is possible to build ghc without ghc on this
platform?
I was using the tarball sources for ghc 7.4.1.
Thanks,
Christian
