Hi Ian,

could you add a note on the download page that
GCC version 4.3.x is not suited for:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.10.4/maeder/ghc-6.10.4-sparc-sun-solaris2.tar.bz2

The binary-dist was compiled using gcc-4.2.2 (but also works i.e. for
gcc-3.4.4)

page
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Solaris
says:

"GCC version 4.1.2 is recommended"
and
"GHC has not yet been updated to understand the assembly output of GCC
version 4.3.x."

Maybe a ticket should be opened for gcc-4.3.x under Sparc/Solaris

Did anyway use gcc-4.3.x under x86 Solaris? (I don't think, it'll have
the same problem.)

Cheers Christian
