I've tried to use a haddock interface files like:

ghc-6.4/share/ghc-6.4/html/libraries/base/base.haddock

from the offical linux distribution under solaris.

(Building the documentation under solaris did not work)

Is the binary format of these files portable?

If it's not portable it should not be located under "share"!

Actually it should be portable, at least between 32-bit machines (endian should make no difference). I haven't really tested it, though. It wouldn't take much effort to make it completely portable. Cheers, Simon
