I suspect this may have something to do with the CFLAGS passed to ./configure. In order to build this DP install on this Intel Mac, I had to configure it like so:

env CFLAGS="-O -g -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc" ./configure --disable-dependency-tracking

GHC will not compile on Intel/mac until support is provided upstream. I will patch the portfile to cause the build to fail with a message if an attempt is made to build on x86.

An error message should now be produced if you try to build on an Intel Mac. I will add Intel-Mac support when it is provided by the developers upstream.

Instruction on how to build Ghc on intel can be found here ​http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/X86OSXGhc

This is now updated to 6.6 and builds on Intel.
