porting using unregisterised build: x86->amd64 solaris

[Karel Gardas]

Hello,

I'm attempting to make unregisterised build of recent GHC head on
Solaris/x86 for Solaris/amd64 platform. I'm closely following:

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Porting#Cross-compilingtoproduceanunregisterisedGHC

with the only one issue:
mentioned: echo compiler/main/Config.hs >> list

seems to be incorrect due to missing compiler/main/Config.hs file which
means gtar will fail on it later.

However I've got to the: <T>$ make all_ghc_stage2      2>&1 | tee c.log
step which fails with:

gmake -r --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk phase=0 just-makefiles
"" configure --with-ghc="/export/home/karel/vcs/ghc-target/"
--with-ghc-pkg="/export/home/karel/vcs/ghc-target/"
--with-gcc="/usr/bin/gcc" --configure-option=--with-cc="/usr/bin/gcc"
--ghc-option=-DOMIT_NATIVE_CODEGEN --ghc-option=-DNO_REGS --flags=stage2
--ghc-option=-DSTAGE=2 --disable-library-for-ghci
--with-hscolour="/usr/local/bin/HsColour" --configure-option=CFLAGS="-g
-O0 -DNO_REGS -DUSE_MINIINTERPRETER -D__GLASGOW_HASKELL__=613 -Iincludes
  " --configure-option=LDFLAGS="  " -- stage2 compiler
/bin/sh: line 1: : cannot execute [Is a directory]
gmake[1]: *** [compiler/stage2/package-data.mk] Error 126
gmake: *** [all_ghc_stage2] Error 2


To me it looks like it's perhaps expecting to have `ghc' binary in
/export/home/karel/vcs/ghc-target/ but there is only `ghc' subdirectory
there hence failing.

Also I'm not sure I've detected correctly mentioned "unimportant build
failures in the RTS" as I've got one which looks like:

I do have two questions:

1) is the url above describing cross-compiling GHC for porting up-to-date?
2) is there any trick how to get my last step (i.e. <T>$ make
all_ghc_stage2      2>&1 | tee c.log) working?

Thanks!
