Please don't confuse the compiler being written in the target language 
with the compiler requiring itself. It should be possible to compile it 
with a compiler for a /different/ language.

You can compile gcc with Sun's CC. You should be able to compile ghc 
with nh98.

No, that's not it. I have 2.95

$ gcc --version
2.95.3

Best,
