 Okay, I think I have solved it: Disable `DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS` for FreeBSD
 by default.  Later I can override this in the Ports Collection for the
 FreeBSD releases that contain the aforementioned `rtld(1)` fix.

 {{{

 +else ifeq "$(TargetOS_CPP)" "freebsd"
 +DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS = NO
  else
  DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS = YES
  endif
 }}}

 If there is no objection, I push this fix later today and close the
 ticket.
