Hmm, I'm not sure if I'm the patch provider, but at least I provided patch which was merged into HEAD (don't have 7.8 branch here so check yourself) which fixes linking of binaries failure on Solaris. Please see b9b94ec82d9125da47c619c69e626120b3e60457 The core of the change is: - else package_hs_libs ++ extra_libs ++ other_flags + else other_flags ++ package_hs_libs ++ extra_libs the patch contains full explanation in comment so see it for more information. If this is not what bugs you, then please ignore me. Thanks, Karel
