Yes, the GHC story is also terrible (and just a tad worse than the rust story). The GHC problem is worse largely because the origins of GHC are murky. While it's still possible to get copies of the early GHC versions through the Internet Archive, the code lives firmly in the 1990s and assumes that you have access to long lost Haskell compilers. Turns out that all these Haskell compilers (with the exception of Hugs) have the same kind of problems that GHC has --- only worse because they are even older, depend on binaries of unreleased previous versions, and are really difficult to build with tools from the last two decades.
