With Hugs, it can be found in /usr/lib/hugs/libraries/Hugs/Prelude.hs
(on Debian anyway). For GHC, I guess it's in compiled into one of the
.hi files? From Hugs' Prelude.hs:

instance Ord a => Ord [a] where
    compare []     (_:_)  = LT
    compare []     []     = EQ
    compare (_:_)  []     = GT
    compare (x:xs) (y:ys) = primCompAux x y (compare xs ys)
