Comment:

 I can confirm one of the above symptoms under Sparc/Solaris 5.10, and fix
 the other.
 I tested with 6.12.1 RC2 (downloaded from
 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.12.1-rc2/ ), which has no tag yet.

 The {{{/bin/sh: syntax error at line 1: `;' unexpected }}} is the same for
 me.

 I could '''fix the second error''' by installing my own sed from source
 (sed-4.2.1), it is related to missing preprocessor support in the stage-1
 compiler (no -XCPP, thus fails on first #include encountered).

 After fixing this failure, however, I hit another one, described
 separately in [/trac/ghc/ticket/3695] .
