Comment (by lpsmith):
I just tested it on Linux-Intel, and it also works fine. I'm curious if
it works on Darwin-Intel, and if anybody else can reproduce this problem
on Darwin-PCC, or it's just me.
As for the issue, I did a binary install from Christian Maeder's build:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.8.3/maeder/ghc-6.8.3-powerpc-apple-
darwin.tar.bz2
I also tried compiling ghc-6.8.3 myself, wondering if perhaps there was
some subtle difference between his environment and my own that's at the
root of this issue, but the build failed with this message:
{{{

}}}
It's been a few years since I tried compiling GHC myself, but this is the
first time it failed in an obscure manner (to me, anyway) in even longer.
I have the GMP.framework installed, though I'm not sure how old it is,
and I also have XCode 2.1 installed.
