Can't compile GHC 6.8.2

According to
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/options-phases.html#options-codegen,
-fasm is the default option anyway, or am I missing something here?

It looks like this is an issue with the way Apple's version of gcc
works. The gmp people are complaining bitterly, saying not to use a Mac
at all.

Perhaps the real issue here is that I should get a new computer. This
old lady's got a bit wrinkly, but there's life in her yet.
