Hi Ben

Yes this fixes the issue I found on the Mac. Although it seems there is a minor problem that I encountered:

sudo make install
...
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 docs/users_guide/ghc.1 "/usr/local/share/man/man1"
install: /usr/local/share/man/man1/ghc.1: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [install_man] Error 71
make: *** [install] Error 2
bash-3.2$ rm /usr/local/share/man/man1/ghc.1

Also, again minor, with either source or binary distribution I am seeing the following warnings:

Warning:
/var/folders/9b/rh4y2gy92hgdb6ktv4df1jv00000gn/T/pkgConf-data-ordlist-0.4.78235644401115438165.0:
Unrecognized field abi on line 15

when doing cabal installs, e.g. cabal install data-ordlist

I believe somebody else asked, do we intend to distribute llvm with 8.0.1. If so I will wait for the next release candidate to test llvm otherwise I will install llvm 3.7 and test llvm

Thanks

George

I have built a new OS X binary [1] which should be linked against the
in-tree libgmp, fixing this issue (which we've been tracking as Trac
#11423).

I have also pushed a 32-bit Windows build.

Perhaps those affected by this issue could try this distribution?

Cheers,
