so you've got to bootstrap it somehow. We provide machine-generated
C-files-from-Haskell for this purpose, but it's really quite a pain to
use them. If you must build GHC from its sources, using a
-binary-distributed GHC to do so is a sensible way to proceed. For the
-other <literal>fptools</literal> programs, many are written in
-Haskell, so binary distributions allow you to install them without
-having a Haskell compiler.)
