Hi Ben,
What is the recommended way to build old versions of GHC? The
haskell.org binaries for, e.g. 7.8.3, do not work on my machine. If I
attempt to recompile ghc 7.8.3 with the haskell.org binary, I get
linkage errors.
Actually I'd love to be able to bootstrap a build without any ghc
installed... that would solve the problem. I heard about the "phase0"
approach from Vitaly Bragilevsky at his Lambdaconf talk this year. But
I've been unable to find any documentation about it.
Best regards,
Sam

In general we don't support bootstrapping older GHCI with newer GHC. However, you may be able to hack something together by manually tweaking bounds.
Cheers,
