For the record, in case anyone gets the wrong impression, I am not
one of the port maintainers (who deserve the credit for creating
the port). I'm just a happy user of the port, which was upgraded
from 8.4.2 to 8.4.3 on Jun 30th. No issues with either version on
FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p10.
My meagre contribution amounts to reporting success with:
# cd /usr/ports/lang/ghc
# make config
# make package
# pkg install work/pkg/ghc-8.4.3.txz
The "make config" options include:
BOOT Use installed GHC for bootstrapping
which speeds up upgrade builds.
