Dear Developers,

I am trying to compile the GHC on OpenIndiana (essentially Solaris 11). I follow the steps in

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.4.1/html/building/sec-porting-ghc.html#sec-booting-from-hc

and here is what I get:

$ ./distrib/hc-build --prefix=/opt/gnu/ghcb --enable-hc-boot
*** Building compiler...
checking for gfind... /usr/bin/gfind
checking for sort... /opt/gnu/bin/sort
checking for ghc... no
checking build system type... i386-pc-solaris2.11
checking host system type... i386-pc-solaris2.11
checking target system type... i386-pc-solaris2.11
HOST: i386-pc-solaris2.11
Can't work out build platform


Not e that configure.ac contains a section on Solaris:

SOLARIS_BROKEN_SHLD=NO

case $host in
    i386-*-solaris2)
    # here we go with the test
    MINOR=`uname -r|cut -d '.' -f 2-`
    if test "$MINOR" -lt "11"; then
       SOLARIS_BROKEN_SHLD=YES
    fi
    ;;
esac

For whatever the reason I "need to update configure.in to recognise the new architecture, and re-generate configure with autoreconf" but I have no idea what exactly to add. There is no template inside to help me. Could you please let me know what should I do to
proceed?

Thank you in advance for your help/suggestions.

A.S.
