Comment(by kosmikus):
Communicated to me by Erik Hesselink:
I think this is a problem with the Mac haskell platform, not with
cabal. The /usr/bin/ghc on the mac is a shell script, which reads:
{{{
#!/bin/sh
exedir="/Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/7.0.4-i386/usr/lib/ghc-7.0.4"
exeprog="ghc-stage2"
executablename="$exedir/$exeprog"
datadir="/Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/7.0.4-i386/usr/share"
bindir="/Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/7.0.4-i386/usr/bin"
topdir="/Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/7.0.4-i386/usr/lib/ghc-7.0.4"
pgmgcc="/Developer/usr/bin/gcc"
executablename="$exedir/ghc"
exec "$executablename" -B"$topdir" -pgmc "$pgmgcc" -pgma "$pgmgcc"
-pgml "$pgmgcc" -pgmP "$pgmgcc -E -undef -traditional"
-optl"-Wl,-read_only_relocs,suppress" ${1+"$@"}
}}}
The line which defines pgmgcc contains the reference to /Developer.
However, XCode doesn't install there anymore since version 4. See also
