The error message should be changed from
Workaround: You may want to pass '--with-nm=nm-classic' to
'configure'.
to
Workaround: You may want to pass '--with-nm=$(xcode-select
-p)/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/nm-classic' to 'configure'.
Once I did that (as documented in https://ghc.haskell.org/ticket/11744) I
was able to do a build
Cheers
