I guess I have some spelunking to do tomorrow
It looks like apples libgcc may be some sort of clang thingy.

It's only used when it needs to do something for which the CPU lacks support so a call to an emulation is used instead of trying to generate native code for it. Maybe you got lucky and ghc doesn't actually need it in its C bits. Or maybe it'll explode only when there's a full moon in Scorpio and Mars is ascendant. :/ (Well, when some rarely used operation happens to need something that x86_64 needs help with. I don't think there are many of those --- which means it's going to be an even rarer explosion.)
