GHC-6.4.1 on FreeBSD-amd64 still not ported

[Wilhelm B. Kloke]

Though I have reported some sort of success on this in the last days,
I was too early. The ghc-inplace does not work on the target system.
It compiled because I have been too lax in following the instructions.
Here is the report, where the crossport fails on the i386host system:

Similar messages for attemps to make other of the failing .hc files.
Perhaps crossporting from a 64bit system is easier. I presume that
once a working ghc is available, life is much easier, as Fedora
Linux-64 does not report problems.
