I suppose we could add a dependency on another Haskell compiler just to run hsc2hs, but that's a pain.
I'm hoping that by the end of this summer, nhc98 will be able to compile the whole of ghc. :-) Also, and alternatively, the yhc chaps have mooted the idea of moving from nhc98's front end to ghc's, which might eventually give you a fully portable bytecode route to bootstrapping ghc on new machines. Pipe dreams for now though. Regards, Malcolm
