building on Mac

[Richard Eisenberg]

I have Mountain Lion (10.8.2, to be exact) with XCode 4.6 installed, and I can build GHC. I don't use XCode when building, but I believe the command-line dev tools (like gcc) are shipped with XCode, so that might be something to look at.

Sorry I don't have any more suggestions!
