With the current package set the only way I have in mind is to install
stack and start from there. This is unfortunately the same for C
libraries since our removal of their static libs.

An idea is to provide an alternative package database in the ghc-static
package that only contains the boot libraries. You will need to ignore
global package database and specify that alternative path to use it.
Does this sound like useful?
