Comment (by maeder):

 I'm just trying to use the stage1 cross compiler that I installed using
 "gmake install" (and adding properly named links) to compile another ghc
 tree. However, if my "gcc -m64" gcc-script is in the path ./configure
 shows the following, which cannot really work:

 {{{
 checking build system type... x86_64-pc-solaris2.10
 checking host system type... x86_64-pc-solaris2.10
 checking target system type... x86_64-pc-solaris2.10
 Build platform inferred as: i386-unknown-solaris2
 Host platform inferred as: i386-unknown-solaris2
 Target platform inferred as: i386-unknown-solaris2
 GHC build  : i386-unknown-solaris2
 GHC host   : i386-unknown-solaris2
 GHC target : i386-unknown-solaris2
 }}}

 x86_64-pc-solaris2.10 is canonicalized to i386-unknown-solaris2.
