hmm, that's after GHC own platform processing is done, but what does

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.
Them's fightin' words ;) There are hard feelings (with good reason) between Illumos and Solaris. Oracle betrayed the OpenSolaris community and particularly their Open Source contributors when they closed Solaris. It was a very unethical thing to do. Bryan Cantrill spoke well on the reasons for and nature of the Illumos fork at LISA11: http://smartos.org/2011/12/15/fork-yeah-the-rise-and-development-of-illumos-... I am very happy that they remain binary compatible. I can immediately use Solaris 10 binaries on Illumos and in many cases Solaris 10 and 11 can run Illumos binaries.
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 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/
