The packaging used to provide GHC 7.0.4 for OS X fails for 32 bit -- cannot install
I have been using homebrew package manager for OS X 10.5.8 for installing tools like erlang, mongo etc.. At some point I used to be able to install earlier versions of GHC. However, after two days of reinstalling tools, verifying errors I filed a report to homebrew:
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/11671
The report in I have logged contains every atom of information I could gather and it has been stored at this Git Gist:

A respondent on the homebrew board was able to reproduce the issue and suggested I contact the GHC team:
