Comment:

 GHC currently does not build with clang. There is a workaround to do it
 (https://github.com/ghc-ios/ghc-ios-scripts/blob/master/clang-
 xcode5-wrapper.hs) and a bug reported upstream
 (https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7678). This should be fixed in
 GHC 7.8, which will probably be released in Haskell Platform 2014.2.0.0.

 I won't be fixing this on our own.
