Comment (by simonmar):
Ok, just to summarise the situation:
* 6.10.4 needs a tiny fix to work with Snow Leopard: add
`-optc-m32 -opta-m32 -optl-m32` to the script `/usr/bin/ghc`, or
wherever
ghc lives on your system. If there is a problem with TH, then please
make a separate ticket.
* The 32-bit OS X distribution of GHC 6.12.1 will work on Snow Leopard
without
modification.
* A 64-bit port is being worked on by various people (see e.g. #3472; we
will
help with the porting effort)
* 64-bit OS X is, for the time being, a Tier-2 platform. That means we
expect
the community to support it, with guidance from GHC HQ. We don't hold
up
releases for it. (this is moot since there isn't even a working port
at
this stage, but still). However, depending on how much extra work is
involved and the demand, we'll consider upgrading it to Tier-1 in the
future.
