IIRC another way to do this, which was and possibly still is used on ARM,
is to compile on the host with -fllvm, saving the LLVM IR output, and then
run opt on the target. This requires the target have an LLVM toolchain at
the same (or at least IR compatible, but note that they make few if any

Thanks, Ben! I read old docs and found that it was mentioned that it's possible to start bootstrap with GHC 4.08.2 and HC files supplied. I performed "./configure && make" stage on x86_64 machine and moved sources to the desired machine (and successfully patched some files to work with exotic C

compiler but miss cross-compiling toolchain. I was able to bootstrap Hugs98
(with manual fixes) and guys on IRC channel pointed me to GHC bootstrap
