[Haskell-cafe] Error trying to build haskell-dbus on FreeBSD

[Simon Jakobi]

Maybe. Though it seems to me that the pre-processor isn't missing, but
it's doing the wrong thing…

I'd suggest to open an issue at
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues – there should be people who
can tell more exactly what's going wrong here.
