Distributing a Haskell program as C source

Question

Say I have a Haskell program or library that I\'d like to make accessible to non-Haskellers, potentially C programmers. Can I compile it to C using GHC and then distribute this

Answer 1

You can't get there with GHC. Even when it compiles via C, GHC relies on manipulating the resulting assembly to shuffle segments around, a huge runtime system and a LOT of baggage.

On the other hand, you might have better luck if what you want is supported by somewhat more limited feature set of John Meacham's JHC compiler, however, which generates fairly compact C output.
