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.

It ships with Debian, along with the full Haskell Platform built for ARM and lots of other libraries. Other than speed, it's fine. -- see shy jo
