Are you using sparc solaris or x86 solaris?

I've so far been unable to get ghc-6.5 working on sparc linux, at least
not a registerised build. The build works fine but then the resulting
ghc fails on startup with an error about the scheduler being re-entered
unsafely. I don't have the exact error message to hand right now.
