Hello

Could it be done and would it be interesting, building 'ghc' using
cabal?

 * 'lhc' does it
 * Use 'cabal-rpm' and 'cabal2arch' to create packages for linux
   distributions
 * As ordinary user, install specific versions in your home
   directory.
   cabal install ghc => $HOME/.cabal/bin/ghc
 * Get base packages as a dependency.

Greetings

Joris
