Dear GHC Team,

please consider the following two patches for DragonFly support.

[ I still have only a workaround for loading modules that access
  errno ("extern __thread int" on DragonFly). ]

[ I get lots of testsuite failures, because I get (with some
  probability) an error message like "Thread 297f0230 has exited with
  leftover thread-specific data after 4 destructor iterations" on
  exit. Will attach a manually edited log of "gmake test", that might
  be a good approximation of all the other (repeatable) failures. ]
