Right, without -threaded I was able to create a useable compiler. My 
binary distribution can be found at:

http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/solaris/versions/ghc-6.4.2-sparc-sun-solaris2.tar.bz2

It does not include the ps-documentation (under share) and also not the 
OpenGL package (although I should be able to build it, but a minor 
configure error in GLUT stopped me to do so)

The build was done under solaris 10 using gcc-4.0.3.

The used libraries are as follows:

bash-3.00$ ldd /local/home/maeder/ghc-6.4.2/lib/ghc-6.4.2/ghc-6.4.2
         libreadline.so.5 =>      /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.5
         libncurses.so.5 =>       /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so.5
         libdl.so.1 =>    /lib/libdl.so.1
         libm.so.2 =>     /usr/local/lib/libm.so.2
         libgmp.so.3 =>   /usr/local/lib/libgmp.so.3
         libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
         libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2
         /platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R/lib/libc_psr.so.1
