Hi,

I have put a binary distribution of ghc-6.6.1 for FreeBSD/amd64
at

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.6.1/ghc-6.6.1-x86_64-unknown- freebsd.tar.bz2

No documentation or ghci.  The former might be easily remedied although
using FreeBSD's docbook chain, as suggested in the wiki, fails when asked to generate printable docs. The latter seems to be a bigger project since my naive interpretation of the problem is that we need data relocations across
a 2GB boundary.

The binary works well enough to build itself and darcs. There are only sixteen unexpected test suite failures thus far. I am ignoring these for the moment while
I get back to thinking about ghci.

Note that you need to install libgmp to use the compiler. libgmp from the
ports collection works fine.

Best Wishes,
Greg
