There are problems with linking on MacOSX 10.4.8 when selected gcc 3.3.
 Following session demonstrates problem:
 {{{
 gracjan$ sudo gcc_select 3.3
 Default compiler has been set to:
 gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1819)
 gracjan$ ghc --make x.hs

 Linking x ...
 ld: Undefined symbols:
 _sprintf$LDBLStub
 _fprintf$LDBLStub
 _vfprintf$LDBLStub
 gracjan$ sudo gcc_select 4.0

 gracjan$ ghc --make x.hs
 Linking x ...
 gracjan$ ghc --version

 }}}

 Linking manually with `-lSystemStubs` fixes the problem. Seems to be
 connected with Ticket #1018, where the solution is to only add
 `-lSystemStubs` when build evironment says so. Probably adding it always
 could be a solution.

 Affected: ghc-6.6-ppc-apple-darwin.tar.gz from
 http://haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_66.html, also macports:

 {{{
 gracjan$ port info ghc
 ghc 6.6, Revision 2, lang/ghc (Variants: darwin_6, darwin_7_powerpc,
 darwin_8_powerpc, darwin_8_i386, noopengl)
 http://www.haskell.org/ghc
 Library Dependencies: readline, gmp
 Runtime Dependencies: perl5.8
 Platforms: darwin
 }}}
