Builds out of the box on Mac. I can simplify my install instructions :)
Do you have a roadmap for jhc? Self-hosting, jhc-pkg, all that good
stuff?

I am pleased to announce jhc 0.7.0, the main changes being speed,
libraries, and using a persistent cache to avoid redoing work (even
between projects)
I am not announcing this on the main haskell lists, I am hoping people
here on the jhc list will be able to test it some, then if any issues
come up I will do a 0.7.1 and publicly announce that.
tarballs and rpms are available as always. For information on
installing
jhc, see the following page:
http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/building.shtml
And the (expanded and corrected!) manual is available here:
http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/manual.html
There have been a lot of changes since 0.6.1, most internal, a lot of
bugs fixed, but a few of the user visible ones in no particular
order are
* fixes for mac OSX
* many changes to library support, redo libraries such that only
names from explicitly imported libraries are visible to the program
being compiled.
* documentation updates
* Support for writing dynamic C libraries in haskell, more complete
FFI support.
* System.Mem now in base
* library reorganization, all jhc specific stuff has been moved to
the 'jhc' library.
* The ho cache is working and enabled by default
* add '-E' option to run a file through the preprocessor (m4 or cpp)
* signifigant speed/space impromevements in front end
* use smart progress meters for showing compiler status
* various bug fixes
* ability for libraries to re-export modules from other libraries
to make versioning easier.
* performs all typechecking before starting any compilation for a
better user experience
Enjoy!
John
