Comment (by thoughtpolice):

 Clang does not 'support' traditional mode in the sense it does not
 completely mimmick GCC, because to do so would be insane. However, we can
 get by with it in the latest version of Clang HEAD.

 This bug is only for GHC HEAD. 7.6.3 simply will not work with Clang I'm
 afraid without hacking things. There are several very important changes
 that were needed in the source for *both* projects in order to make them
 compatible, so it's not surprising you have to do weird things to make it
 all work in some hacky way.

 All that said, I guess I'll have to bite the stupid bullet and get an ADC
 account since Apple likes to mess things up so much.
