You are talking about the GHC binary itself, not about how GHC compiles
the libraries and programs, right? For the latter case, answers for
Debian (and Ubuntu) can be found in
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2012-November/023093.html and I’m happy to elaborate. In the former case: *shrug* – should we?

Yes, I was talking about the GHC binary itself. Even so, that is a very rich thread; thanks for the pointer.

I was asking for various reasons. I'm not casting a vote either way.

Thanks.
