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

[Thomas Schilling]

No, I have xcode installed (which is mainly needed for gcc, ar, ld,
etc.).  I have lots of other GHC versions installed as well, so I
don't think that's the issue.

I think Duncan has been working on dtrace support, so maybe he has an
idea. (CC'd).
