Thank's very much Andre. Now that I look for it, I did find this in the FAQ.
(I looked at the building guide but missed the FAQ!)

I'm still confused however. I though that with the whole two (three?)
stage bootstraping process you get a version of ghc built with itself
anyway, no? Maybe the ghc gurus could enlighten us. :-)

If it requires an extra time consuming step, could it be a ./configure
option? --enable-ghci
