interesting but I'm not able to build this on SunOS 5.11/x86. The build fails with:

I've configure with simple: ./configure --prefix=/tmp/ghc-6.10.1.20090314
and build with:
gmake
The interesting thing is that GHC stable builds on my buildbot well: http://darcs.haskell.org/buildbot/all/builders/kgardas%20stable
The buildbot is putting "SplitObjs=NO" in mk/build.mk. The above log has object splitting enabled, which means that there are a lot more .o files, which is presumably causing some problem with your ar. If you have both a GNU ar and a Solaris ar then it might be worth seeing if the other one works. Otherwise, putting "SplitObjs=NO" in mk/build.mk will work, but at the expense of larger binaries.
