 It looks like a homebrew (or something else?) dependency snuck into the
 RC2 build:

 {{{
 % ./configure --prefix=/Users/awick/tools/ghc7.8.0
 checking for path to top of build tree... dyld: Library not loaded:
 /usr/local/lib/libgmp.10.dylib
   Referenced from: /Users/awick/tools/ghc-7.8.0.20140228/utils/ghc-pwd
 /dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-pwd
   Reason: image not found
 configure: error: cannot determine current directory
 }}}

 As not all of us use homebrew, it'd be lovely if the binary installer only
 required base Mac libraries to be installed rather than
 homebrew/macports/whatever.
