heres a 32bit OS X 7.8.3 build

[Carter Schonwald]

Since this came up on IRC on #ghc,

yes, modern OS X 10.9 and 10.10 can run 32bit executables. (for some reason
certain folks seem to think they're only runnable on <= 10.6 )

(plus apparently if you wanna hot patch certain program such as dropbox,
those are written in 32bit form so you need 32bit haskell libs if you wanna
use haskell for that :))
