Whatever shell the freebsd one is using doesn't seem to like functions.
By default, FreeBSD has the regular Bourne Shell (`/bin/sh`) from the base system, that shall support functions, I have used them a couple of times before. However, the `function` keyword was not needed for that. Removing them from `configure.ac` fixes the problem for me. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10705#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
