[Solaris bindist] Re: ANNOUNCE: GHC 7.8.1 Release Candidate 1

[Christian Maeder]

I can no longer build ghc from sources for yet another reason (attached 
log).

"sed" reports "command garbled". I do not even know where to find this 
call in the makefile infrastructure. I suspect "gsed" must be used 
instead (on our Solaris installation).

Cheers Christian
