I've created ghc-6.6 under solaris. This did only work with SplitObj=No in mk/build.mk. (There was an early split error, that I could reproduce.)
When trying out this compiler, I got the following error (that I only post for the record):

Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
Are you using sparc solaris or x86 solaris? I've so far been unable to get ghc-6.5 working on sparc linux, at least not a registerised build. The build works fine but then the resulting ghc fails on startup with an error about the scheduler being re-entered unsafely. I don't have the exact error message to hand right now. Duncan
