Comment (by carter):

 Just to be clear, the ghc work flows that are impacted are those which
 need the system linker.  Namely any dynamic linked executables , ghci , or
 TH.

 I agree with Gershom's assessment that 8.0.2 should wait till this is
 validated as being fixed for 10.12 and at least doesn't trigger any
 regressions on 10.11 and 10.10.

 @ilovezfs will you be able to help us consistently test that version range
 for correctness and absence of regressions? I could probably help with
 some guidance.

 I guess this is the first time Mac OS X support range has come up since
 the cpp / clang challenges in recent years. Or the more recent issue of
 some object code tool from llvm, nm, not defaulting to posix format for
 certain outputs.

 I would propose that we treat at least the 2-3 most recent OS X releases
 as "core tier 1" of our tier 1 Apple support. At least as an informal
 guide post?
