I've just committed r8839, so people with the GHC 6.4.0+GCC4.0+OSX10.4
combination now see this:

  GHC 6.4.0 cannot work with GCC 4.0 on Mac OS X.
  Please download the GHC 6.4.1 installer from http://haskell.org/ghc/.
  (Alternatively, use "sudo gcc_select 3.3" to pick an earlier version
   of GCC, or set the CC environment variable to "/usr/bin/gcc-3.3".)

That should make it pretty clear that we prefer upgrade (of GHC) over
downgrade (of GCC), and so we can retain GHC 6.4.0 compatibility for a
while (at least until GHC 6.6 comes out.)
