Ok, I've rebuilt it (and tested it!)  the same link now points to that build

$ shasum -a256 ghc-7.8.3-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2
8f79b4d88db1da6b904b02f23e28d0197d7f101008d005b27def7d1396f74421  ghc-7.8.3-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2

is the sha256 checksum

This build uses intree-gmp correctly, so it doesnt need any GMP installed on the target system. And definitely works on OS X 10.9 


cheers!

hey all, 

I know all of you wish you could run 32bit ghc 7.8.3 on your snazzy mac OS 10.9, so here you are!

http://www.wellposed.com.s3.amazonaws.com/opensource/ghc/releasebuild-unofficial/ghc-7.8.3-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2 

$ shasum -a256 ghc-7.8.3-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2
1268ce020b46b0b459b8713916466cb92ce0c54992a76b265db203e9ef5fb5e5  ghc-7.8.3-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2

is the relevant SHA 256 digest

NB: I believe I managed to build it with intree-gmp too! So it wont' need GMP installed in the system (but I could be wrong, in which case brew install gmp will suffice)

cheers
