Thanks for the clarifications! I just saw a number of 7.6.3 + 10.9 reports about linker issues and such popping up in the last few months and remember some work being done to backport a couple of fixes for a 7.6.4 release. If all will be fine with standard Apple Cmd Line Tools, that's great.
I don't think the 10.6 64bit issue is a HP issue in any way. I also tied building my own GHC from source, it did nothing to resolve that crash. I only think it's problematic that the HP download page has been listing 10.6 + XCode 4.1 + GHC 64bit as a working combination when that stopped being the case quite some time ago. It does not seem like that bug will get fixed, so I was just suggesting to update the download page to recommend only the 32bit GHC for 10.6 users.
