;-) I'm sorry, I didn't remember to say I haven't any amd64 box, so if you
could work on this lack, it would be great.

Thank you for this. It remind me a little problem about the haskeline
dependence on libiconv, you could see:

and then my little new patch on:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/137055


Anyway I think the problem rises up because the haskeline wasn't built, the
ghc compiler to happen not to find the libiconv libraries and include files.
So you have to use the option which I pass to the ghc compiler by the 
mk/build.mk for the local pathes in:
