Weird failure of ghc-7.0.2 on OS X 10.5 using the bindist tarball

[Thomas Schilling]

I installed ghc (x86) from the bindist tarball like so:

$ wget http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.0.2/ghc-7.0.2-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2
$ tar -xjf ghc-7.0.2-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2
$ cd ghc-7.0.2-i386-apple-darwin
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
$ make install

$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.0.2

GHCi works fine:

$ ghc -e 3+4
7

However, if I want to compile a test file I get a weird dtrace error.

$ cat test.hs
main = print 42

$ ghc --make test.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( test.hs, test.o )
Linking test ...
error: Could not compile reconstructed dtrace script:

};

Any idea what's going on there?
