Are you fully nerd???? How can ghc expect an installed ghc for thefirst build stage????? What is that???? See how gcc does it. It createsa basic C compiler in the first stage and then compiles thefurther stages with that. Your strategy shows that you just don't care.So don't expect that admins are happy about your offer... Man, unbelievable....
Yes, and no. It is perfectly possible to bootstrap from .hc files, which basically is a partial compilation of the ghc sources to C. Unfortunately, these .hc files are (by necessity) machine dependent, so you are not normally encouraged to take that route. It is documented fairly well though, even so, athttp://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-porting- ghc.html#sec-booting-from-hc
With regards, Arthur van Leeuwen.
PS: you *do* need a C compiler to bootstrap GCC... in fact, to bootstrap
the GCC ADA compiler, you already need an installation of same.
Do you also consider that to be a serious bug?
