I have not seen a ghc-7.8 branch yet, but here are the hashes for the
commits I would merge:

1ad599ea241626f47006fa386e4aaf38dc91fdbb -- Fixes #8451
bcc5c953f80c53732172345639f30974b9862043 -- DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS=YES for FreeBSD
c3b8b3ab27f092c83e08915e3de0bde29321cd31 -- Minor fix in configure (I
have been using it in the FreeBSD ports tree)
0d90cbc988af31ff8ea35120203bd9d252d8055e -- Enable the LLVM codegen
for FreeBSD/amd64 (also used in the FreeBSD ports tree)

I have also run through your 7.8 RC checklist [1] and I would update
it with the following information:

- FreeBSD (i386): builds clean, validate works, bootstrapping works.
- FreeBSD (x86_64): builds clean, validate works, bootstrapping works.
- Dynamic GHCi is now enabled and works for both i386 and x86_64 on FreeBSD.
