Comment (by kgardas):
I would also like to add my analysis, if you don't have amd64/solaris2
platform at hands. So Solaris supports 2 ABIs, provides gcc 3.4.3 which by
default generates 32bit code for i386 ABI. It might be also used to
generate 64bit code for amd64 ABI if started with -m64 command-line
option. If I'm right, then for GHC build, we do have i386 ABI GHC for
Solaris in binary form and so stage1 compiler should also be compiled for
i386, but it should be a cross-compiler run on i386 generating code for
amd64 ABI. Stage2 compiler should then be amd64 ABI and also in stage2
build and rts build executed gcc should be used with -m64 option to get
64bit binary. Now, the question is just where to hack to make it real. :-)
(if I'm right of course)
