The builtin 'echo' command doesn't do '-n' - emulating it.
Configuring for nhc98... [ v1.12 (2002-03-15) ]
--------
Looking for already-installed Haskell compilers:
  Looking for hbc...   (not found)
  Note: LMLDIR/HBCDIR variables must be set to enable detection of hbc.

You said you want to use gcc to build hmake.
  Now I'm creating targets/ix86-solaris2/hmake3.config for your installation.
Done.
--------
                   Configuration report for nhc98.
    (You can re-run configure to change settings before proceeding.)
You wish (eventually) to install the following components in these locations:
    (Installation directories are not created/checked at this stage.)
Final install root:   /usr/local/nhc98-1.12
hmake binaries:       /usr/local/nhc98-1.12/lib/hmake/ix86-solaris2
nhc98 binaries/libs:  /usr/local/nhc98-1.12/lib/nhc98/ix86-solaris2
Interfaces/includes:  /usr/local/nhc98-1.12/include/nhc98
Scripts:              /usr/local/nhc98-1.12/bin
Man pages:            /usr/local/nhc98-1.12/man/man1
Html documents:       (none)

Now we check/create your build directories:
Config directory:      targets/ix86-solaris2
Build directory root:
    /home/jon/tgz/nhc/nhc98-1.12/targets (exists)
Object files build in:
    /home/jon/tgz/nhc/nhc98-1.12/targets/ix86-solaris2 (exists)
Executables and libs:
    /home/jon/tgz/nhc/nhc98-1.12/lib/ix86-solaris2 (created)

You are going to build nhc98 with:          gcc
nhc98comp uses RTS delimiters?              yes
You gave the following extra build options:  -I/opt/sfw/include
This machine's endian-ness is:              -DLOW_BYTE_FIRST (detected) 
Executables need .exe suffix?               no  (detected)
Testing for the curses library:             -lncurses (detected) 
Testing for the readline library:           -lreadline -lncurses (detected)
Reading /usr/include/errno.h:               updated DErrNo.hs
Default heap for compiled programs is: 100000 words (cached)
