Reinstalled GHC should be completely ABI compatible. This should
actually not be difficult to achieve, since we already rely on this
in the GHC build system: we assume that ghc-stage1 generated hi files
can be compatibly read and used by ghc-stage2.

I’d am mostly worried about ABI compatibility. Will the .hi fi
Hi everyone,
As part of the recent GHC 8.2.1 release and the associated boot-library
publishing to Hackage, I picked up again experimenting with a
reinstallable lib:ghc package primarily for the benefit of uploading
haddocks for lib:ghc (w/ `--hyperlinked-source`) to Hackage:
