ghc-7.9.20140707 fails testsuite on OS X (10.10) Yosemite
Using ghc straight from the git repository, I just ran sh validate. The ghc that I used to build this new one was from https://github.com/ghcformacosx/ghc-dot-app (a neat packaging of GHC as it does not mess with system system files).
This is on Yosemite DP3, XCode 6 Beta 3.
