Hi Alain,
hmm, that's after GHC own platform processing is done, but what does
sh config.guess
tells you? E.g. on my two Solaris 11 I get:
$ sh config.guess
i386-pc-solaris2.11
$ sh config.guess
sparc-sun-solaris2.11
BTW: also if you are building GHC on AMD64/Solaris/err/SmartOS, then I
think Christian (cced) may be interested as he is currently working on
cross-compiling from i386/Solaris to AMD64/Solaris and he is hit by some
bugs along the way. So if you do have already binary for GHC on that,
then perhaps it'll work on Solaris too...
You may wonder why I'm so picky about Solaris, but I've just been hit on
Solaris 10 by bugs (in linker) which are not presented on Solaris 11 so
in the past I needed to switch off shared libs on Solaris 10 and keep
this functionality on Solaris 11 so I'm curious what third member to
Solaris family will bring here. I hope SmartOS is still more closer to
Solaris 11 than Solaris 10 thanks to its roots in OpenSolaris project...
Thanks,
Karel
