I had no problems building gmp-free GHC 7.4.1 for x86 Solaris (Openindiana to be precise) and Mac OS X. Not as a part of Haskell Platform, just compiler itself. To be precise, there was a little problem under Solaris: make failed complaining about loop in compilation. I removed this check from Makefile and it finished successfully.
