7.8.2 bugs and beyond

[Pavel Ryzhov]

Hi Austin,

Here is my build of 32-bit bindist and IPS package for Solaris 11.1:

http://c1473.eu01.webzillafiles.com/ghc/ghc-7.8.2-i386-unknown-solaris2.tar.bz2
http://c1473.eu01.webzillafiles.com/ghc/ghc-7.8.2.i386.p5p
http://c1473.eu01.webzillafiles.com/ghc/SHA256SUMS

I hope I will have a free time next week to progress to 64-bit build of GHC for Solaris 11.1.

Best regards,
Pavel
