Hi Simon and solaris GHC users, I've made progress with ghc HEAD under solaris 8. In fact I could successfully install a ghc-6.5 compiler that was able to compile a couple of files (including "Hello World") But on one file (by chance HughesPJ.hs with an unqualified module name) I got a "Bus Error" (see below) I'll try now if "gmake bootstrap3" fails, too. During "gmake" also the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS warning was not entirely gone: In file included from ../includes/ghcconfig.h:4, from ../includes/Stg.h:42, from ../includes/Rts.h:19, from RetainerSet.c:14: ../includes/ghcautoconf.h:364: warning: `_FILE_OFFSET_BITS' redefined /usr/include/sys/feature_tests.h:96: warning: this is the location of the previous definition. (There were numerous other warnings, too many to post here.) I assume there's not much difference between ghc-6.5 und ghc-6.4 prerelease. Is someone else on the list interested in a solaris distribution and could contribute?
