[Haskell-iPhone] Objective C bindings?

Is anybody aware of any efforts to revive the HOC project that
provides Objective-C bindings for Haskell? Or any alternatives to it?
It seems like it would be a great complement to the iOS cross
compiler. I've started reading through the code to see what it might
take to get them working w/ recent GHCs. the last commit on the google
code project was 2010.

When I do the "runhaskell Setup.hs build" from the installation
instructions I get a few things like this:

"Unacceptable argument type in foreign declaration: CInt"

which seems to be explained by this as due to a change in FFI at some
point: http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/zlib-build-failure-on-recent-GHC-td4971516.html

I'm just starting to dig into this so maybe there's a good reason
nobody else has. I'm pretty new to Haskell, but I love the idea of
making native GUIs for OS X and eventually iOS.
