No, it is not possible to build GHC without GHC. Building GHC on ARM is going to be extremely tricky (I'm not sure anyone has ever done it).
I used to use an unregistered build of GHC built by someone in the Debian community - it worked well enough. Cheers, Thomas
What you should be able to do easily with the next release is cross-compile to ARM through the LLVM backend.

Hi Cafe, I hope this is the right place to ask this kind of stuff. I would like to try ghc on a panda board (armv7l) with arch linux. There is apparently no pre-built package, so I was trying the instructions to build, from here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Porting.
However, I still seem to need a ghc and ghc-pkg installed: I am getting this error message: .... checking for tar... /bin/tar checking for gpatch... no checking for patch... /usr/bin/patch checking for dtrace... no checking for HsColour... no checking for xmllint... no configure: WARNING: cannot find xmllint in your PATH, you will not be able to validate your documentation checking for xsltproc... no configure: WARNING: cannot find xsltproc in your PATH, you will not be able to build the HTML documentation checking for dblatex... no configure: WARNING: cannot find dblatex in your PATH, you will not be able to build the PDF and PS documentation checking for ghc-pkg matching ... configure: error: Cannot find matching ghc-pkg

Does anyone know if it is possible to build ghc without ghc on this platform? I was using the tarball sources for ghc 7.4.1.
Thanks, Christian
