We need a bugfix release for 7.6 or get 7.8 soon to support OS X Mavericks

[Johan Tibell]

Hi all,

It's getting more urgent to have a working GHC on OS X Mavericks. 35% [1]
of OS X users are now on Mavericks and won't have a working GHC unless they
jump through some hoops [2]. If we don't think we can have 7.8 out in the
next few days, I think we should consider making a minimal 7.6.x release to
make things work on OS X again.
