Thank you for porting GHC 6.8.2 to solaris, I am assigned a job to make sure GHC run 64 bits on solaris.

Good, I was waiting for (someone like) you! I'm interested in a true 64 bits GHC on solaris, too, but I have no idea how to build one. I hope Ian or Simon can help you/us.

Is your solaris port 64 bits. Or it only 32 BITS.

Obviously it's only 32 bits, currently.

I know 32 bits GHC can still run on 64 bits solaris.

Yes it does and it is probably faster than a 64 bit version (like under linux).

However company want to run really 64 bits GHC on solaris.

How many resources is your company willing to spent on this? (Don't answer this, if it is a problem.)

Thanks a lot if you can give me feedback.

Good luck, Christian
