Yes, the binary tarball built on RHL 7.2 should work fine with 7.3 too. 
(It doesn't work with Red Hat Linux 9 however...)

Yep.  Btw I just uploaded ghc-6.0-7 to

  http://haskell.org/~petersen/rpms/ghc/

There are an updated nosrc rpm and binary packages for Red Hat 8.0 and 9
(ie glibc-2.3).  So if you wish to rebuild, it might be a good starting
point.
