Since this came up on IRC on #ghc,
yes, modern OS X 10.9 and 10.10 can run 32bit executables. (for some reason
certain folks seem to think they're only runnable on <= 10.6 )
(plus apparently if you wanna hot patch certain program such as dropbox,
those are written in 32bit form so you need 32bit haskell libs if you wanna
use haskell for that :))

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!

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
