The workaround is almost certainly to build the RTS with -fasm. According to http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/options-phases.html#..., -fasm is the default option anyway, or am I missing something here?
It looks like this is an issue with the way Apple's version of gcc works. The gmp people are complaining bitterly, saying not to use a Mac at all.
Do you have a link to something describing the problem? I didn't turn up anything that looked directly relevant, only this: http://gmplib.org/macos.html which seems to suggest that problems can be worked around with flags to gcc. We don't use -fno-pic. Cheers, Simon
