I had no problems building gmp-free GHC 7.4.1 for x86 Solaris
(Openindiana to be precise) and Mac OS X. Not as a part of Haskell
Platform, just compiler itself.
To be precise, there was a little problem under Solaris: make failed
complaining about loop in compilation. I removed this check from
Makefile and it finished successfully.

i would really like to be able to ship haskell based linux binaries, but the gmp dependency makes it virtually impossible. so what version of host os, host ghc, and haskell-platform sources are known to build a working compiler?
any reason why the dependency on gmp is static? are the interfaces between versions actually different? or can we build a version fo the compiler that loads the library via dlopen on demand?
Thanks, Anatoly
