New description:
The Haskell Platform package for Mac OS X installs a /usr/bin/ghc script
which hard-codes the path to gcc as:
{{{
pgmgcc="/Developer/usr/bin/gcc"
}}}
This is incorrect, as Xcode tools can be installed at semi-arbitrary
locations, and there may be several versions installed. The correct
approach is:
{{{
developerpath=`xcode-select --print-path` # Produces "/Developer" or
alternative path
pgmgcc="$developerpath/usr/bin/gcc"
}}}
