Comment(by gwright@…):

 OK, I have reports that ghc 6.10.3 revision 4 builds successfully on both
 Tiger/ppc and Tiger/intel.  Revision 4 backs out one of the changes in
 r51205, putting back the patch originally added to work around this
 problem.  There were changes introduced upstream to 6.10.3 which were
 supposed to make this patch unnecessary, but they were apparently not
 tested with different bootstrap compilers to see if they actually worked.

 If people still have trouble, they should build with the new variant
 cabal_configure_debug as so:
 {{{
     $ sudo port ghc clean
     $ sudo port -dv ghc build +cabal_configure_debug 2>&1 | tee build.log
 }}}
 and send the output.  The new variant patches the Makefiles to provide
 useful output from cabal's configuration phase, which is otherwise
 completely silent.

 Unless I get further reports on this problem I will close this in the next
 few days.
