I would agree. For me, if GHC would in the future need Objective
Caml to build, this would make GHC useless for most of my projects.
You see, AFAIK, there are no free (in the GNU sense) implementations
of the language. And since GHC would then need non-free tools to
build, all my GHC-using projects would therefore need non-free tools
to build. Since I am a free software advocate, I can't easily allow
such dependencies in my projects.
I certainly hope the GHC people won't introduce such dependencies.
Hoping that Haskell stays free, and apologising for the abuse of the
Haskell list,
