* Fix build on Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
- We have -m32 as machine-dependent option for gcc for a 32 bit build
- Like on OpenBSD, SL requires -fno-stack-protector to avoid triggering
the
stack smashing checks inserted by gcc by default on this platform.
}}}
which fixes the build on SL and also validates on Leopard.
NB: This fixes the build. However, the testsuite doesn't work as SL comes
with Python 2.6.1, which apparently has a bug in on of its libraries that
is tickled by GHC's testsuite. The error message is
{{{
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "../../driver/runtests.py", line 112, in <module>
maj = int(re.sub('[^0-9].*', '', maj))
File

line 150, in sub
