I believe the main reason why ghci isn't available on all platforms is the dynamic linker. I don't think it would be easy (or even feasible) to switch to something like 'ld', though.
AFAIK the current linker is meant to support Mach O, ELF and COFF, which should cover almost every platform GHC is able to run on. Now, it's not ideal that GHC maintains its own dynamic linker implementation, but if someone has discovered a bugs with it (or any other bug preventing TH from working) I'm sure GHC HQ would be interested in knowing.
