It would be great to have a portable base, without any GHC-specific stuff in it. After all, modules like Control.Monad or Data.Foldable are pure Haskell2010. The only obstacle I see is that ghc-base, as you call it, uses some amount of base definitions, and so we have a loop. How hard would it be to break this loop? That is, either make GHC.* modules self-contained, or make base not to depend on GHC.*?
