new ghc under solaris

[Christian Maeder]

Hi Simon and solaris GHC users,

I've made progress with ghc HEAD under solaris 8. In fact I could 
successfully install a ghc-6.5 compiler that was able to compile a 
couple of files (including "Hello World")

But on one file (by chance HughesPJ.hs with an unqualified module name) 
I got a "Bus Error" (see below) I'll try now if "gmake bootstrap3" 
fails, too.

During "gmake" also the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS warning was not entirely gone:

In file included from ../includes/ghcconfig.h:4,
                  from ../includes/Stg.h:42,
                  from ../includes/Rts.h:19,
                  from RetainerSet.c:14:
../includes/ghcautoconf.h:364: warning: `_FILE_OFFSET_BITS' redefined
/usr/include/sys/feature_tests.h:96: warning: this is the location of 
the previous definition.

(There were numerous other warnings, too many to post here.)

I assume there's not much difference between ghc-6.5 und ghc-6.4 prerelease.

Is someone else on the list interested in a solaris distribution and 
could contribute?

Cheers Christian
