Building GHC on Mac OS 10.2.1

[Kirsten Chevalier]

The latest is that while I was able to successfully install gcc 3.3,
it made no difference at all. I was able to make some progress by
running configure with --disable-threaded-rts. But, now I get:

My /usr/local/bin/ghc is ghc 6.0.1, which... *should* recognize
OPTIONS (or any other pragma), right? Various documentation claims you
should be able to bootstrap with anything newer than 5.0.4. I'm not
*entirely* sure where the existing old version of ghc I have installed
came from. But I think it's a standard build. Can anyone tell what's
up? I've built ghc I-don't-know-how-many-times now and I'm *still*
mystified by this.

Thanks,
Kirsten
