Comment (by adamse):

 To compile GHC on commit 6d24076be9aff562cd449aa1d39b8eb14638bcd6 I had to
 specify a working compiler (I used a clang wrapper) in the `settings` file
 for my bootstrapping ghc.

 Located at
 `/Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/Current/usr/lib/ghc-7.4.2/settings`
 for the latest Haskell platform I believe.
