Re: osx conundrum

I’m a maintainer of the MacPorts ghc port. The MacPorts installations do not have this issue, whether installed from the buildbot binaries or compiled from source, that all work on multiple macOS versions 10.9–11. Here’s the build recipe: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/lang/ghc/Portfile https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/lang/ghc/Portfile The iconv symbol issue is known, https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/18752 https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/18752, and packages like MacPorts must build around it. This looks like something specific to your configuration. If you believe that there is an issue outside your system, please initiate a trac ticket at https://trac.macports.org https://trac.macports.org/.
