Isn't gcc just used for its assembler and object file creation, these days,
now that via-C is deprecated? Or are there other parts of it that are
needed?

Not to detract at all from the work of the wonderful GHC and Haskell Platform contributors in any way. For me it would just make it that much easier to convince mac-using friends to give Haskell a try.
The ghc team already bundle a copy of gcc in their Windows distribution, precisely because it can be fiddly to get a working copy of gcc for that platform otherwise. I wonder if they would consider the possibility of shipping gcc on Mac too? (There may be good reasons not to do that, but let's have the discussion.)
