Perhaps. Nonetheless it is common practice for compilers to be written in the target language and to be compiled via bootstrapping. Ever take a look at the GCC sources? You guessed it: C.
Please don't confuse the compiler being written in the target language with the compiler requiring itself. It should be possible to compile it with a compiler for a /different/ language. You can compile gcc with Sun's CC. You should be able to compile ghc with nh98.
If this is the binary you found, it is possible you have an incorrect version of GCC.
No, that's not it. I have 2.95 $ gcc --version 2.95.3 Best, Daniel.
