ghc 6.8.1/freebsd/amd64

[Tim Newsham]

Hi Guys,
    The new ghc 6.8.1 is out today and I was able to get it to build
on my FreeBSD 6.2 STABLE amd64 with one line to the configure file

   -amd64-*-freebsd*)
   +amd64-*-freebsd*|x86_64-*-freebsd*)

(or configure.ac for the darcs tree).  It seems the resulting compiler
works, but GHCi does not (linking problems, probably expected):

   GHCi, version 6.8.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
   ghc-6.8.1: internal error: R_X86_64_32S relocation out of range:
   (noname) = 0x802574738
