I have a 500MHz UltraSPARC II on my desktop running Solaris 2.10. Some time ago I tried to install GHC 6.6.1 on it, but ended up with something that compiles to C ok, but then invokes some C compiler with option "-fwrapv", which no compiler on that machine accepts, certainly none that was present when I installed it. I would really love to be able to use GHC on that machine. I also have an account on a T1 server, but the research group who Sun gave it to chose to run Linux on it, of all things. So binary distributions for SPARC/Solaris and SPARC/Linux would be very very nice things for this new project to deliver early. (Or some kind of source distribution that doesn't need a working GHC to start with.)
