What is the version of your devel/libffi port? Could not adding --with-system-libffi and related flags to the configuration phase fix the problem? Note that you can experience nice problems if the version of the in-tree and system libffi.so files differ.

It works for me (i.e. the "binary-dist" and "test_bindist" targets do not give me errors) if I use the --with-system-libffi flags, and ldd(1) shows that everything is okay: $ ldd bindisttest/HelloWorld bindisttest/HelloWorld: libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x28126000) libgmp.so.10 => /usr/local/lib/libgmp.so.10 (0x2821e000) libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x28281000) librt.so.1 => /usr/lib/librt.so.1 (0x2829b000) libffi.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libffi.so.6 (0x282a0000) libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x282a6000) $ pkg info -x libffi libffi-3.0.11 Foreign Function Interface However, if I do not use --with-system-libffi, but libffi.so.6 is present on the system, the following happens at gmake binary-dist (just for your information): $ gmake binary-dist [snip] tar: ghc-7.7.20130324/rts/dist/build/libffi.a: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-7.7.20130324/rts/dist/build/libffi_p.a: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-7.7.20130324/rts/dist/build/libffi_l.a: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-7.7.20130324/rts/dist/build/libffi_debug.a: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-7.7.20130324/rts/dist/build/libffi_thr.a: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-7.7.20130324/rts/dist/build/libffi_thr_debug.a: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-7.7.20130324/rts/dist/build/libffi_thr_l.a: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-7.7.20130324/rts/dist/build/libffi_thr_p.a: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-7.7.20130324/rts/dist/build/libffi_debug-ghc7.7.20130324.so: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-7.7.20130324/rts/dist/build/libffi_thr-ghc7.7.20130324.so: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-7.7.20130324/rts/dist/build/libffi_thr_debug-ghc7.7.20130324.so: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-7.7.20130324/rts/dist/build/libffi_l-ghc7.7.20130324.so: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-7.7.20130324/rts/dist/build/libffi_thr_l-ghc7.7.20130324.so: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-7.7.20130324/rts/dist/build/libffi-6.dll: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. mv bindistprep/*.tar.bz2 .
