I don't understand this.  Are you saying it would be too hard for the
Haskell Platform maintainers to build the install kits?  It seems like
bundling gcc would be just the thing to solve all the problems with the
XCode dependency (which I'm now told include not just the install-time
dependencies, but also the Haskell Platform regularly breaking with
every new operating system release).
