ghc 6.10.3 cannot exec '/opt/local/bin/i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4. 0.1'

When building ghc 6.10.3_1 on MacOSX 10.4.11 (XCode 2.5 installed) I get the following error:

Preprocessing library hpc-0.5.0.3...

Workaround: Soft-linking /opt/local/bin/i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 to /usr/bin/i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 seems to help get around this issue (but is not really a workaround for me because I later stumble upon a -lgmp issue such as (identical to?) the one noted on ticket #17321).

Have you used gcc_select to select another version of gcc, e.g. one you installed with MacPorts? If so, then you are being affected by #19856.

(but is not really a workaround for me because I later stumble upon a -lgmp issue such as (identical to?) the one noted on ticket #17321).

Actually #19747.

I hadn't realized that it wasn't enough to gcc_select gcc40 to ‘undo’ the use of gcc_select, so yes, I have been bitten by that one.

Damm! I don't know how I missed that one.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank your for the prompt and kind help.

Main issue is a duplicate of #19856. The "-lgmp" issue is the now resolved #19747.
