The official GHC binary distribution only provide i386 version. So, I tried to compile x86_64 version from darcs head of ghc-7.0, but I failed.

Is there anybody else who has successfully built any x86_64 version of GHC?

Apparently there is an x86_64 version of GHC in Macports, although I haven't used it.

Binary installers of an x86_64 GHC are available at http://haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_7_0_1#macosx_x86_64 The first package works for me. There is a linker warning, but I haven't noticed any problems yet.

The binary installer is the best option still today. You can build later on your own GHC but the risc of running into cabal hell is very high.
