[Freebsd-haskell] Error building GHC 6.12.1 in Tinderbox tracked finally.

Hi everyone,

I hope you remember the issue we're facing with GHC 6.12.1 port dying in
Tinderbox[1]. I finally tracked it. And following is how I reproduced that
error on my box:

I hope this was the only hurdle we'd. Now any ideas how to sanitize the
environment ? Using env(1) or any other better way ?
