[...] Could you be so kind and revert this patch or fix it to also work on Solaris? For Solaris the change should be easy, simply if you invoke Solaris' tar with --help, it'll fail with exit code 1 and help message printed into the stderr. If you are curious if it supports --format, then no.

Should be fixed now. Thanks for the heads-up!

Have you already pushed? I don't see it fixed on my end yet:

fyi, libraries/Cabal is a submodule, so here's what you should do, (assuming you've ghc's checkout is at its latest state): # update/checkout submodule to latest commit from Cabal's master branch git submodule update --remote libraries/Cabal # test ./validate still works # record submodule update in git index git add libraries/Cabal # create commit, and make sure the commit msg contains the # magic word "submodule" git commit # ... git push HTH, hvr
