I checked out the CVS yesterday.

=== gcc version is

$ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.8/3.2/specs Configured with: ../configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/l d --disable-nls Thread model: posix gcc version 3.2

== I configured with

$ ./configure --enable-hc-boot

You need the appropriate .hc files for this to work, and in any case porting GHC is not a trivial exercise. See the section on porting in the building guide: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-porting-ghc.htm l I see you're trying to port GHC to i386-*-solaris2. Probably the best way is to start by porting 4.08 from .hc files, then move on to compiling 5.xx or CVS. Cheers, Simon
