Official FreeBSD 10.3 distribution should link against libutil.so.9, not libutil.so.8
The official distribution of GHC for FreeBSD, as retrieved from [0] attempts to link against libutil.so.8
FreeBSD 10.3 is actually built against libutil.so.9, and there is no /lib/libutil.so.8 (and no version 8 of the library available via the package manager/ports).
Symlinking /lib/libutil.so.9 to /lib/libutil.so.8 appears to allow GHC to run without issue, but I can't guarantee the results.
Since the distributed GHC tarball is specific to FreeBSD 10.3, it should probably link against libutil.so.9 as well.
(I am completely new to Haskell/GHC and have no clue what "component" to tag this as. I was looking for a 'distribution' or 'packages' component, but can find none. My apologies in advance for tagging it as 'None')
