Actually, it is worse than that. Ghc is written in *non-standard*
Haskell, so you can't build it with just any Haskell compiler, only
with ghc itself!

P.S. nhc98 is a compiler for standard Haskell, written in standard
Haskell, that can be built with any of ghc, hbc, nhc98, or Hugs.
It can also be very easily bootstrapped on a new machine via C.
A new release of nhc98 is due at the end of this week.
P.P.S. Apologies to those who are offended by this blatant advertising
of a rival system on the ghc list!
