Thank you for answering. This is more complicated to do it fast.
I tried to follow the building guide for a new port. IIRC there were
messages related to the difference in range for 64bit constants in the
header files for amd64 and the range which 32bit GHC could handle.
For now I have screwed up both build trees. I am going to restart the
process with fresh copies to give the exact information.

I was just hoping that a set of Linux-64 .hc files would do
the job for FreeBSD, too.

BTW, should I hold my breath for 6.4.1?
