Validate of GHC HEAD freezes on FreeBSD

Thank you for your reply. 

Just in case, I would summarize what I'm talking about. There are two
issues on FreeBSD:

1) Building GHC stops

       This is the problem which we are discussing in
       http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7592

2) Tests freeze

       I confirmed that GHC 7.4.2, GHC HEAD, GHC 7.6.2RC2 has the same
       problem.
