This seems to be in conflict with what others are reporting. Do you believe
that the GHC 7.6.3 runtime, as shipped last spring, will fail to start up
on 10.9? I have a hard time believing that - Apple almost never makes such
breaking changes.

I don't see anything in the changes in
darinmorrison/ghc<https://github.com/darinmorrison/ghc> that
detect at run time the compiler used. The flag choices seem to be made on
items detected at config time.

Making the wrapper robust for both Xcode 4 and Xcode 5 doesn't strike me as
hard at all - since presumably there is an easy way to detect which version
of Xcode (or for that matter, the version gcc reports when it is really
clang.)
