On MacOS if your path is such that gcc is the gnu gcc rather than Apple's gcc then ./configure gives
checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/Users/gcolpitts/downloads/ghc-7.10.2.20151114': configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details I worked around this by doing export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH before doing ./configure After that the install worked fine.
