I'm hoping that by the end of this summer, nhc98 will be able to compile
the whole of ghc.  :-)  Also, and alternatively, the yhc chaps have
mooted the idea of moving from nhc98's front end to ghc's, which might
eventually give you a fully portable bytecode route to bootstrapping ghc
on new machines.

Pipe dreams for now though.
