Interesting idea, as far as I'm aware noone has ever tried this.  It might work, 
but is almost certainly tricky.

You need to get yourself a GHC source tree and add 'GhcLibWays=u' to 
mk/build.mk, then build everything.  You'll also need to add -optc-fPIC in the 
right places; add it to GhcLibHcOpts might be enough.
