GHC 6.4.2's threaded runtime system does not work right on Solaris
On our solaris sparc machine compiling our main binary (optimized) takes 3h:38min whereas (only) 55min under linux. At least our sparcs may die out sooner or later. On the other hand we have a couple of Athlon's-64 with Solaris 10 without any ghc installation. I'ld appreciate if there was a binary distribution of ghc-6.4.1 or ghc-6.4.2 (without threaded rts) for PC-Solaris, first. Maybe that would motivate me to look a little into the threaded problems. Although, I was told that posix threads are differently implemented for Solaris, Mac and Linux (and only correctly under Mac). Hopefully, the threaded problems under solaris are the same for sparcs and for pcs. Cheers Christian
