The value of `__FreeBSD_version` (in case you plan to add conditional based on it), where it is [https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/sys/param.h?r1=273250&r2=273249&pathrev=273250 changed] is `1100039`. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks for looking -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12695 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
