Comment (by carter):

 pretty much the exact same process. Make sure you have the newest versions
 of happy and alex installed, then follow the directions here
 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building

 basically:
 clone the ghc repo
 ./sync-all get
 perl boot
 ./configure
 make -j  # nb, this does an optimized build, so it take a while, edit the
 build to be a fast one, docs for that are in the build guide
 then test the ghc-stage2 in the ./inplace/bin folder
