Ok, I tried[1] that and like I guessed, now I  get again the infamous
'Prologue junk?' error' again:

../../ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace -H16m -O -O2 -static -I. -#include Prelude.h -#include Rts.h -#include RtsFlags.h -#include RtsUtils.h -#include StgRun.h -#include Schedule.h -#include Printer.h -#include Sanity.h -#include STM.h -#include Storage.h -#include SchedAPI.h -#include Timer.h -#include Itimer.h -#include ProfHeap.h -#include LdvProfile.h -#include Profiling.h -#include Apply.h -fvia-C -dcmm-lint     -c Apply.cmm -o Apply.o
Prologue junk?: .globl stg_ap_0_ret
        .type   stg_ap_0_ret, @function
stg_ap_0_ret:
        pushl   %ebp
        movl    %esp, %ebp

make[2]: *** [Apply.o] Error 255
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/gsauthof/src/nothread/ghc-6.4.2/ghc'
make: *** [build] Error 1

This error I don't understand. Doesn't the mangler expects the
pushl/movl instructions? Isn't this a 'normal' sequence if the functions
pushes local variables to the stack?

Ok, if I diff a raw_s file from linux against one from solaris x86, the
pushl/movl sequences are deleted (and the '#NO_APP' command is replaced by
'/NO_APP').
