Yes, that's a problem with every port dealing with binary boostrappers.
The best rule for dealing with such ports is: do not remove old
shared libraries after updating OpenBSD. Of course this doesn't
help for fresh installs.

I'm planning to prepare new ghc bootstrapping binaries on the weekend
after s2k11 (wich i can't attend, unfortunately), i.e. september
24th/25th.

I'll also need some fellow developer to do this for i386 (because
I only have an amd64 installation here) and a lot of Haskell ports
will need pkgname bumps (ghc still suffers from some broken
optimizations introducing ABI changes when the bootstrapping compiler
gets a different version number or name).

Ciao,
