Comment (by kencu):

 you know stack is set up to purposefully not use any system installed ghc
 unless specifically instructed to do so, and will always download the ghc
 that the software it is trying to build that says it needs. and also all
 new packages every time, just the same.

 This is a purposeful stack feature, and can be overridden with Yet Another
 stack option, " use system ghc", but as ghc is touchy, it is by no means
 certain that the system ghc will build the software.

 I have a patched ghc working perfectly all the way back to 10.6, but you
 can't easily make stack USE a custom ghc, you have to override it's
 packaging system settings, and that is Not Easy.
