 using a "gcc -m64" and a working ghc-7.8.0.20140228-i386-unknown-solaris2
 I was able to create a 64Bit ghc-stage2 compiler that can compile a simple
 hello world program but may create binaries from larger sources that seg-
 fault. In particular "ghc-stage2 --interactive" seg-faults:

 {{{

 }}}

 The content of my mk/build.mk is just
 {{{
 INTEGER_LIBRARY = integer-simple
 }}}

 Creating a binary-dist also worked, but unpacking and "gmake install"
 failed at first because old-time, haskell98 and haskell2010 libraries were
 missing due to "!CrossCompiling" in ghc.mk and the second time with:

 {{{

 }}}

 What am I doing wrong for cross compiling? There is also #8378 using a
 different build host. #8713 also seem to use x86_64 solaris2 libs.
