Comment(by florin.bocaneala@…):

 I guess we made a little progress.

 I attach below the debug output that you requested, but then, based on
 your suggestion, I tried specifying the architecture by hand
 (+darwin_8_i386) and this time it managed to pass the configuration step,
 and even most of the compilation. However, it faltered once again during
 linking with... libgmp.

 Let me know if you need the whole debug output for building ghc with
 manually selected variant.
