Hi Páli,
On a related note, I have just (about a month ago) switched to GCC 4.6 for the GHC maintained in the FreeBSD Ports Collection (7.4.2, as part of the Haskell Platform), and I did not experience any problem with it, I am currently using it on my netbook, together with numerous ports I have for it.
Thank you for your reply. Just in case, I would summarize what I'm talking about. There are two issues on FreeBSD: 1) Building GHC stops This is the problem which we are discussing in http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7592 2) Tests freeze I confirmed that GHC 7.4.2, GHC HEAD, GHC 7.6.2RC2 has the same problem. --Kazu
