Ok, I tried[1] that and like I guessed, now I get again the infamous 'Prologue junk?' error' again:

This error I don't understand. Doesn't the mangler expects the pushl/movl instructions? Isn't this a 'normal' sequence if the functions pushes local variables to the stack?
Ok, if I diff a raw_s file from linux against one from solaris x86, the pushl/movl sequences are deleted (and the '#NO_APP' command is replaced by '/NO_APP').
You shouldn't see the %ebp instructions, because gcc should be invoked with -fomit-frame-pointer. Is it possible that somehow part of your build thinks it is unregisterised? Try running GHC with -v, see whether the -fomit-frame-pointer flag is being passed to gcc. If not, try to find out why - it should be added by code in ghc/compiler/main/DriverFlags.hs. Cheers, Simon
