Comment (by kgardas):
It is simple, Solaris on amd64 aka x86_64 platform supports two ABI: one
64bit and one 32bit. Till now using older version of config.guess my
amd64/solaris box was recognized as i386-solaris and GHC behaves
accordingly and builds well (for i386-solaris2). Since your config.guess
update, GHC knows it's configured on amd64-solaris and complains about
unsupported platform. So my fix is natural fix to make GHC again believe
this is i386-solaris as it supports it all the time. Of course it's very
easy for anyone interested just to revert this simple patch and hack on
real amd64-solaris platform support. Is it more clear now?
