LambdaVM: build fails on Solaris/x86

[Karel Gardas]

Hello,

short followup, when I also removed Cabal from libraries/Makefile
SUBDIRS, then the build has gone well and I'm able to compile and run
simple Haskell testing programs.

Great work, indeed! I'm looking forward to seeing LambdaVM merged to the
standard GHC.

Thanks!
Karel
