Good, I was waiting for (someone like) you!
I'm interested in a true 64 bits GHC on solaris, too, but I have no idea

Yes it does and it is probably faster than a 64 bit version (like under
linux).

How many resources is your company willing to spent on this?
(Don't answer this, if it is a problem.)
