hmm, that's after GHC own platform processing is done, but what does
sh config.guess
tells you? E.g. on my two Solaris 11 I get:
$ sh config.guess i386-pc-solaris2.11
$ sh config.guess sparc-sun-solaris2.11
Karel, I think I finally have what you were looking for:
x86_64-pc-solaris2.11 i386-pc-solaris2.11
Great, so this means SmartOS is just another member of Solaris family. I've installed it and verified that `ld' and `nm' are really what we expect on real Solaris. In fact thanks for your advice I've been able to use its packaged GHC on my Solaris 11 to compile some code and even attempted the bootstrap of HEAD for Solaris/AMD64 platform. There are some outstanding issues with bootstrap so this needs to wait till my weekend ghc hobby time...(if someone does not solved it faster of course...) Thanks! Karel
