I am afraid the stage3 build wasn't enough :(. I did some more testing
with that ghc build. I built a middle sized Haskell project with it,
which worked. A colleaque did this test again, which worked, too. Then
he build another Haskell package, which failed (ghc segfaults). After
this the previous project failed, too. I tried it again and it worked.
After a break I built the project again - and it failed (everytime
segfaults).

Thus I guess that I have problems with the threaded rts (which are more
difficult too reproduce, than the previous ones).

Ah, and ghci segfaults every time - I didn't test ghci before.

I will try a non-threaded version and threaded with debug enabled.

BTW, what are the disadvantages of a non-threaded rts?

I will try it.

The only 'real' problem is libm.so.2 (Solaris 8 has libm.so.1) - I
guess.

Yes, I will try it after I finished the Solaris x86 stuff. At the
solaris/sparc mashines, there is a ghc 6.2 available - but I get
'gcc notes' like described in this mail:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2004-November/007473.html
(note: if this code is reached, the program will aborted)

So I will start with the binary 6.4.1 from haskell.org and get the
right readline/gmp libs.
