Comment(by StephenBlackheath):

 Hey chak & anyone who wants to build our work in progress at
 https://github.com/ghc-ios/, some instructions. There is currently some
 breakage with a Cabal change needed.

 {{
 git clone git at github.com:ghc-ios/ghc.git
 git checkout master-merge-ios
 ./sync-all --no-dph get
 }}

 the usual cross-compile build.mk

 {{
 cat > mk/build.mk << EOF
 HADDOCK_DOCS       = NO
 BUILD_DOCBOOK_HTML = NO
 BUILD_DOCBOOK_PS   = NO
 BUILD_DOCBOOK_PDF  = NO
 SPLIT_OBJS                 = NO
 INTEGER_LIBRARY    = integer-simple
 Stage1Only                 = YES
 EOF

 perl boot

 cp arm-apple-darwin10-bin/* ~/bin # or anywhere in your path
 PATH=~/bin:$PATH ./configure --target=arm-apple-darwin10
 --prefix=/usr/local/ghc-ios-armv7/

 make
 sudo make install
 }}
