Building GHC 5.02 on Solaris x86

[Ian Lynagh]

Doh, I have several times got further than I thought but didn't realise
it as I didn't notice it had made a ghc-5.02 binary!

Here's my latest problem, anyway - I don't suppose it could be caused by
the hc files being generated under a different OS with different magic
numbers could it?

[spells out "appropriate type" etc]
