Comment (by darinmorrison):

 Replying to [comment:10 george.colpitts]:

 Actually, no. This patch fixes problems that occur when building on 10.9
 regardless of whether GCC or clang (Xcode 5) are used. In other words,
 it's not related to Xcode 5 at all.

 Building GHC on 10.8 with Xcode 5 does not require this patch. I've
 already tested this to make sure.

 You can see how the patch is applied with the homebrew formula I maintain
 here:
