Preferred gcc for use with ghc

[Christian Maeder]

gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5488) worked for me. I think it
comes from XCode 3.1 together with @(#)PROGRAM:ld  PROJECT:ld64-85.2.1

XCode 3.0 with gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465) and
@(#)PROGRAM:ld  PROJECT:ld64-77 works only on intel macs but not on
powerpc macs.
