[Haskell-iPhone] Can anyone help me test GHC-iOS compiler?

[Luke Iannini]

Hello all!

I'm extremely happy to report (thanks to invaluable help from Stephen) that
my issues were my own dumb fault : ) — I was using LLVM 3.0's Clang but not
its llc or opt. With some other tweaks to Stephen's above patch[1], we now
have a perfectly working GHC-iOS on OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Hurray!

Cheers
Luke
