Unable to build GHC-7.4.1 on OpenIndiana

[Paul Graphov]

Thanks for your advice but that didn't help. Also GHC is build
successfully on my Ubuntu box with gnu make-3.81

But solution for my case was quite simple - I've commented out those
lines in ghc.mk that produced the error :) ghc binary-dist was built
successfully and run well on solaris-10 box.
