Thanks, looks like I already succeeded by downloading xcode 3.
Now my original question remains - is such a change a good idea?
(I've already found the place in code where the fix has to be made; should
take an hour of work at most)

I used https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer/downloads to get a real gcc on Lion. Biggish download, but it worked. I've also seen reports of success by self-compiling gcc, or by installing XCode 4 on top of an existing XCode 3 installation.
GCC 4.6.2 builds on OS X 10.7 with Xcode 4.2. Build GMP 5.0.2 with clang, and then GCC with /usr/bin/gcc -> llvm-gcc-4.2. I think I saw someone guild GCC 4.7, but this is highest stable.

Oh well... looks like building ghc won't be easy, as it doesn't build with llvm-gcc and it's not easy to get a "real" gcc on Lion. But I don't stop trying :)
