 Im seeing the build scripts using gcc instead of gcc-4.8

 this is problematic! with xcode 5, gcc IS an old version of clang!

 attaching a copy of the build log.

 i'm using 7.6.3 to build this, and  the ghc 7.6.3 settings file is
 pointing to gcc-4.8, so it can only be the build system. I think

 {{{
 [("GCC extra via C opts", " -fwrapv"),
  ("C compiler command", "gcc-4.8"),
  ("C compiler flags", " -m64 -fno-stack-protector  -m64"),
  ("ar command", "/usr/bin/ar"),
  ("ar flags", "clqs"),
  ("ar supports at file", "@ArSupportsAtFile@"),
  ("touch command", "touch"),
  ("dllwrap command", "/bin/false"),
  ("windres command", "/bin/false"),
  ("perl command", "/usr/bin/perl"),
  ("target os", "OSDarwin"),
  ("target arch", "ArchX86_64"),
  ("target word size", "8"),
  ("target has GNU nonexec stack", "False"),
  ("target has .ident directive", "True"),
  ("target has subsections via symbols", "True"),
  ("LLVM llc command", "llc"),
  ("LLVM opt command", "opt")
  ]


 }}} is host 7.6.3 ghc setup
