While compiling GHC 3.01 using GHC 3.00 on a Sparc running Solaris 2.5.1,
I encountered the following error:

panic! (the `impossible' happened):
ERROR: Int -1 out of range [0 .. 2147483647]
Please report it as a compiler bug to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This looks like the known bug in 2.10 "Native code generator can't handle
``-2147483648''" but the workaround mentioned there, to compile
with -fvia-C, doesn't apply since that flag is already mentioned on the
command line. What to do? Does 3.01 need to be built with 2.10?
