validate failure on Mac OSX for ghc head (validate fails with clang)

[Carter Schonwald]

I put some notes on trac.  I’ll see about updating build notes later.

I did find some stuff in the Mach linker that needs to be handled
differently on gcc vs clang on Mac.  And likely needs a patch so it also
builds clean with gcc
