6.8.1 compilation error on Sun Solaris 9

[Robert Andersson]

Hello!

When compiling on Sun Solaris 5.9 sun4u sparc with configure

  ./configure --with-gmp-includes=/opt/csw/include --with-gmp-libraries=/opt/csw/lib --with-ghc=/usr/local/ghc/bin/ghc

using gcc version 4.0.2 I get the following errors 

---------- errors start ----------

---------- errors end ----------

I also noticed that the GHC bundle also tries to install its own gmp
even though I explicitly say not to. Why is gmp even bundled with ghc?

Anyway hope someone can give me a few pointers on what is going on.

yours,
