In my effort to produce a working FreeBSD-amd64 compiler I made some progress. Now I have a working stage1/ghc-inplace (which is a 32bit executable producing 64bit code). But the compilation of rts fails in file Apply.cmm with the following message:

This is, of course, because the derived constants SIZEOF_mp_limb_t is wrong. Is there a way to get to a working system from this intermediate stage?
Are you following the porting instructions in http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Porting? I would expect SIZEOF_mp_limb_t to be correct, as it is generated by mkDerivedConstants. Perhaps you compiled mkDerivedConstants as a 32-bit executable? Cheers, Simon
