#5010: ghc-asm has a poor shebang

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
During a cabal install of Snap and its dependency bytestring-mmap, ghc-asm
complained that it couldn't run.
{{{

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
bytestring-mmap-0.2.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
}}}
Upon further investigation, it was determined that ghc-asm wouldn't run
due to its shebang.
{{{
$ less /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/612/usr/lib/ghc-6.12.3
/ghc-asm
#!/opt/local/bin/perl
$TARGETPLATFORM = "i386-apple-darwin";
}}}
I installed !MacPorts in ~/macports, not /opt/local. When GHC was
installed, it should have used the shebang
{{{
#!/usr/bin/env perl
}}}
which does not depend on !MacPorts being installed in /opt/local, or for
that matter !MacPorts being installed at all.
Specs:
* GHC 6.12.3
* Haskell Platform 2010.2.0.0
* Mac OS X 10.6.6
* !MacBook Pro 5,1
