Hi Ian,
could you add a note on the download page that GCC version 4.3.x is not suited for:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.10.4/maeder/ghc-6.10.4-sparc-sun-solaris2....
The binary-dist was compiled using gcc-4.2.2 (but also works i.e. for gcc-3.4.4)
I should also note that there is a GHC 6.10.4 binary for Sparc/Linux that is now included with Gentoo. It's got all features turned on except for split objects (which fails due to mixing ld -r and --relax flags). In particular it's a registerised via-C build with ghci, TH and profiling working. It's a distro package not a generic relocatable GHC binary tarball so there's no point putting it on the ghc download page, but it's there nevertheless if people want it (look for the gentoo ghc ebuild).
