Darn, just saw your message, sorry. I'll file a ticket once I can reach trac again. On Sat, Apr 7, 2018 at 7:00 PM, Ben Gamari wrote:

Hi,

Last year I've provided a patch that enables DTrace probes under FreeBSD, sadly as it turns out this currently breaks the ability of GHC 8.4.1 to function as a bootstrap compiler under FreeBSD. I've provided a patch that adds a flag to the build system so one can turn off DTrace in case one needs to build a bootstrap compiler.

https://phabricator.haskell.org/D4575

Thanks for the patch. Do you think you could open a ticket for this to make sure we don't lose track of it?

This should probably also contain some heads up in the documentation, otherwise someone might end up with a compiler that's not suitable for bootstrapping. Not sure on how this is being handled.

I have an idea on how to fix the actual issue but for the time being this might be a suitable workaround. Maybe we can still get this into 8.4.2? I've already notified the FreeBSD ports maintainers regarding this issue.

Yes, I can push this to 8.4.2.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Sorry for the inconvenience.
