There were two problems preventing GHC 7.0.2 from being built on MacOS. For
one, the 'configure' script automatically added the flag
-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk
to the command-line that's being passed to GCC. This setting doesn't work with
our GCC, and resulted in build errors because standard headers like <stdargs.h>
could no longer be found.
Secondly, the build depends on install_name_tool, which has been added as a
buildInput.
These changes trigger a re-build on all platforms, not just on Darwin. I
realize that this could have been avoided by adding some cruft. However, I
didn't want to add cruft, so there you are.

This is supposed to become the new default version of GHC once
the new Haskell Platform is released (but only then).

The wrapper script for ghc-pkg changes the command's default behavior such that
global packages -- i.e. packages that are part of GHC itself -- are no longer
found:
$ ghc-pkg describe base
ghc-pkg: cannot find package base
This patch remedies the problem.

The initial MacOS X binaries have been linked to libgmp.dylib using some
mad path in /opt that's now hard-coded into the program. Consequently,
$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH must contain the place where libgmp really is for
those binaries to run correctly. Tested on i386-apple-darwin9.7.0.

Unfortunately, the same problem occurs again with 'installPackage', so as of
now, GHC cannot be installed on Red Hat.

into haskell-packages.nix, which depends on an instance of GHC.
This allows a consistent set of packages to be built with the same
GHC. For instance,
$ nix-build -A haskellPackages_ghc683.xmonad
builds xmonad and all its dependencies with GHC 6.8.3, while
$ nix-build -A haskellPackages_ghc6102.xmonad
does the same with GHC 6.10.2. This is the same technique used with
kernelPackages. It also means that we don't need things like
"cabal682" and "cabal683" anymore.
* The setup hook is now in a separate wrapper package so that we don't
have to recompile all of GHC every time we want to make a small
change.
