Comment (by carter):

 I'll add more of my system information shortly (just got off a plane.  ).
 But the biggest difference is I'm using a real GCC.  AND my build of ghc
 was built with it.  Your GCC is actually clang.

 I'm on a very up to date OS X 10.9 machine too. I'll confirm that shortly
 though.

 The fact that you have something like @ArSupportsAtFile@ being passed to
 AR makes me think that the build of ghc went wrong.   OR perhaps there's a
 problem with how clang works as an assembler on OS X?

 ILL do a clang build of the RC myself to try to replicate this.
