Comment (by arrowd):

 I'm maintaining GHC port for FreeBSD, so feel free to ping me if you need
 something.

 I'm also poking with stack, making it support installations of recent GHC
 versions. That's why we need working bindists for FreeBSD. Would it be
 possible to produce a bindist for 8.4.3 too, at least?

 And another thought - maybe I can add some logic to create bindist right
 into FreeBSD port? So you just do `make -C /usr/ports/lang/ghc bindist` on
 a fresh system and get a tarball. Would that ease anything for you?
