BTW, should I hold my breath for 6.4.1?

You should certainly bootstrap using a 6.4.1 snapshot source tree, because there have been plenty of amd64-related fixes. There won't be a lot of change between now and the 6.4.1 release.

I tried it again today. One of my problems was related to gmake version. The configure script should warn, if gmake is older than 3.80 (I had 3.78). The building of the .hc bundle fails wirth the following messages: ... tar czf ghc-6.4.1-x86_64-unknown-freebsd-hc.tar.gz `cat hc-files-to-go` tar: ghc-6.4.1/ghc/rts/PrimOps.hc: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-6.4.1/ghc/rts/StgStartup.hc: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-6.4.1/ghc/rts/StgStdThunks.hc: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-6.4.1/ghc/rts/Updates.hc: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-6.4.1/ghc/rts/Apply.hc: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-6.4.1/ghc/rts/Exception.hc: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-6.4.1/ghc/rts/HeapStackCheck.hc: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-6.4.1/ghc/rts/StgMiscClosures.hc: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: ghc-6.4.1/libraries/haskell-src/Language/Haskell/Parser.hs: Cannot stat: No such file or directory gmake: *** [hc-file-bundle] Fehler 1 I tried to go back to ghc/rts to build more files following the ipattern of the last steps before, but this destroys genapply. Further, there are some hsc.c files of length 0 like: ~/Haskell/fptools-i386amd64/ghc-6.4.1 0$ ls -l libraries/base/System/*hsc.c -rw-r--r-- 1 wb ifado 0 17 Sep 21:31 libraries/base/System/CPUTime_hsc.c -rw-r--r-- 1 wb ifado 0 17 Sep 21:31 libraries/base/System/Time_hsc.c The building process on the target system fails with messages that there is no rule to build those files. Also, I needed to have happy and alex on the target system, because make boot fails without them (catch 22). A final glitch is that (at least, my) FreeBSD-amd64-6.0 gcc does not include -I/usr/local/include and -L/usr/local/lib in the search path. So libgmp is not found. -- Dipl.-Math.
