ghc 7.6.3 and ghc HEAD fails to build on OS X 10.9
ghc 7.6.3 does not compile on OS X 10.9 (as of DP5).
There are a few issues that seem to be causing this:
-
gcc is no longer available and the clang compatibility patches of #7678 (closed) are not included in 7.6.3.
-
There is some sort of bug that causes mkdirhier.sh to fail in some cases.
-
There is another bug when compiling RtsProbes.d with DTrace. The problem seems to be triggered by the inclusion of stdint.h. #undef-ing HAVE_STDINT_H only for the compilation of RtsProbes.d (which then includes inttypes.h instead) seems to work for some reason. A better solution may be possible from someone who understands the DTrace machinery better.
The issue has has been discussed here:
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/20546
I have come up with a tentative patch that fixes problems (2) and (3) here (and also pasted below):
