AFAIK, you can bootstrap ghc onto lots of non-PC-centric platforms,
using the unregisterized porting guide. However, it is not a trivial
exercise, and it does not address the question of setting ghc up as a
cross-compiler, should your device be too small to host ghc at all.
Other Haskell compilers might be a better starting point. For instance,
nhc98 uses portable C as a target language, and has a configure-time
option to set it up as a cross-compiler. See
http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/nhc98/install.html
(cross-compiler info towards the bottom of the page). The example
given is for ARM/linux.
