Hi Apostolos,

It took me a while to finally figure this out, but in the end I was able to
get GHC 7.4.2 working nicely on OpenIndiana.  Here are the steps I followed:

 1. Add the SFE publisher to OpenIndiana

    pkg set-publisher -p http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe

 2. Uninstall the old gnu and gcc-3 packages

 3. Install gcc at 4.6.2 from SFE (or whatever is current)

 4. Configure with:

    ./configure '--with-ld=/usr/bin/ld --with-gcc=/usr/bin/gcc \
        --with-nm=/usr/bin/nm --with-gmp-includes=/usr/gnu/include \
        --with-gmp-libraries=/usr/gnu/lib \
        --with-iconv-includes=/usr/gnu/include \
        --with-iconv-libraries=/usr/gnu/lib

 5. make

Here are my fulltest results:
