 }}}

 The reason for this can be tracked to the haskeline.cabal file code:
 {{{
         if os(solaris) {
             cpp-options: -DUSE_TERMIOS_H
         }
 }}}
 the cpp-options are not modified on Solaris although they should. The
 reason for this is a bug in Cabal which does not recognize Solaris from
 its i386-pc-solaris2.11 triple. The bug is reported with suggested patch
 here: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/1641
 The a little extended patch is already in Cabal HEAD and it is promised to
 be merged into 1.18 branch by Mikhail Glushenkov here:
 http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-January/003819.html
 Now, the question is if it is possible to get the fix into GHC HEAD before
 7.8 RC.
