I've built up to GHC 6 (I've stopped after reaching 6) from GHC 4. GHC 4 does use some generated C files, so it's not a pure bootstrap, but it's still much better than taking a binary of GHC 6 or later.

(I'm the author of the 2017 blog post. I had planned a follow-up but since I didn't have much to show I scrapped it.)
