 In #7806, kazu-yamamoto reported that on FreeBSD without a system libffi:

 GHC can be built:

 {{{
 % make maintainer-clean
 % perl boot
 % ./configure --prefix=/ghc-head \
               --with-iconv-includes=/usr/local/include \
               --with-iconv-libraries=/usr/local/lib \
               --with-gmp-includes=/usr/local/include \
               --with-gmp-libraries=/usr/local/lib \
               --with-gcc=/usr/local/bin/gcc47 \
               --with-gcc-4.2=/usr/local/bin/gcc47
 % gmake -j10
 }}}

 But installation fails:
