I put just GNU ar into my PATH, so GHC build is using Sun ld and GNU ar
and the build runs for much longer and breaks on:

The message `internal error: error_message(28)' looks suspiciously, is
there any Sun ar invoked behind the scene? Or isn't this message from
the AR but coming from something else?
