Yes, it does. That's very strange for the *stage2* compiler. I ran otool on pwd and ghc-pkg (which were the problem in 6.8.1 and those binaries don't depend on "gmp").
Ian, why would a stage2 compiler depend on an external gmp? I thought it would always use the one bundled with ghc.
Do you mean the one in gmp/ in the ghc repo? That's only used if there isn't an external GMP on the system; it's basically only there because we don't want to require that Windows users install GMP. I'm not sure where GMP frameworks on OS X fit in. Incidentally, I suspect the otool output actually means it depends on /some/ libgmp.3.dylib, and it is using one that it found in /opt/local/lib/libgmp.3.dylib, but I could be wrong. Thanks Ian
