Comment(by duncan):
Hmm. Vanilla cabal just looks for gcc on the $PATH. It's plausible this is
a customisation by the OSX Haskell Platform package, but if so I wasn't
aware and I can't see how it's doing it. You're sure the file
/Developer/usr/bin/gcc does not exist? It's odd since if one used --with-
gcc=/Developer/usr/bin/gcc then it checks if it exists before it gets
round to actually executing it, so we'd get a different error message.
