Unfortunately it is due to policy.

Nope. After building the hc tarball with a new copy of ghc 6.6.1 on the
host machine, I pulled it along with a new copy of the source tarball
from http://www.haskell.org/ghc onto the target machine. Untarred the hc
files, changed mk/build.mk and fixed mk/bootstrap.mk, and ran
distrib/hc-build.
