Ok, I've now modified the patch and attached a new version to the ticket:

*BSD folks please test.
I built the 20080529 snapshot with this patch and my light testing of ghci showed no problems (FreeBSD 7.0/x86_64).
I will built it again tonight in a darcs checkout and run the test suite. I should be able to send back any tweaks to the patch in the next two days.

I've built ghc 6.8.x from the darcs repository (checked out on 30 May) with the 2013.patch on FreeBSD 7.0/x86_64. As far as ghci is concerned, it seems to work and passes almost all of the tests. However, there are many unexpected failures in the testsuite, almost all apparently coming from failures to find mkstemp, mknod and S_IFDIR in header files. Either some conditional includes are broken in ghc or FreeBSD 7.0 moved some things. I'll have a look tomorrow.
Great, thanks for the feedback Greg. I'll push this patch. Cheers, Simon
