#1786: can't build ghc-6.8.0.20071017 under Solaris using a GNU linker
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: guest | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Compiler | Version: 6.8
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: Unknown | Os: Solaris
Testcase: | Architecture: x86
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
if I have a GNU linker first in my PATH then configure allows the -x
option for linking, but then the stage1/ghc-inplace still uses the Solaris
linker via gcc and fails:

This is bad since Cabal cannot cope with the solaris linker
