Building lang/ghc on armv7 (RPI2 v1.1)

[Oleksandr Shyshko]

Hi,

I am not sure whether this is the right way to report a bug or ask for help.
Please, let me know if there is a better place for it.

I am trying to build lang/ghc on armv7 (RPI2 v1.1):
============================================
$ uname -a
FreeBSD pluto 12.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE r354233 GENERIC  arm
============================================

I made it to this point:

$ cd /usr/ports/lang/ghc && sudo make SHELL='sh -x' install

Any ideas on what can be wrong or how to fix it?
