Hi George,

I've not tried compiling via llvm, but I have a working Mac GHC 7.10
build that I've been using, and haven't seen any of the other issues
you mentioned. I'm not sure what's recommended but I believe I'm using
clang (see output below). If you want to try my build, you can
download it at [1]. BTW, the info you posted seems to be from 7.8, not
7.10.

Regards,

Erik
