Ah yes, I forgot about that.  Ken Shan came across the same problem when
porting to Alpha.

To generate a Solaris-friendly set of hc files for the libraries you
need to do this:  for each .hsc file, take the C output from hsc2hs on a
Linux box (use --no-compile to get the _hsc_make.c file), and
compile/run it on your Solaris box to get the .hs file.  Take the .hs
file back to Linux to generate the .hc file.

You will probably have to generate a full set of .hc files, including
the compiler.  That means doing a 2-stage build on Linux using the .hs
files generated on Solaris as above.
