What’s needed to bootstrap GHC with hugs?

I wonder if the advent of generative AI has change the picture here. Maybe it would be possible to let an agent port the GHC source code to be microhs compatible, module for module, until there is something that runs and behaves similar enough to GHC to then properly bootstrap GHC.
I’m sure some will not consider that in the spirit of bootstrappable builds, depending on your stance on LLM generated code, though…
