Comment(by PHO):

 I am the current maintainer of [http://pkgsrc.se/wip/ghc pkgsrc-wip/ghc].
 I've been regularly booting GHC via C sources because [http://pkgsrc.org/
 pkgsrc] packages are supposed to bootstrap solely with a C compiler, just
 like FreeBSD Ports and Gentoo Portage. That way we could avoid annoying
 problems like binaries depending on an incompatible libc.

 On the other hand, I know very well that supporting HC bootstrap
 complicates the entire GHC system unacceptably. So if you stop supporting
 that, I'll switch to binary bootstrapping anyway.
