check if GNU nm is really needed and if so let configure detect gnm
building ghc-7.8.20140130 under Solaris fails with a non-GNU nm as follows:
inplace/bin/deriveConstants --gen-header -o includes/dist-derivedconstants/header/DerivedConstants.h --tmpdir includes/dist-derivedconstants/header/ --gcc-program "/opt/csw/bin/gcc" --gcc-flag -U__i686 --gcc-flag -fno-stack-protector --gcc-flag -Iincludes --gcc-flag -Iincludes/dist --gcc-flag -Iincludes/dist-derivedconstants/header --gcc-flag -Iincludes/dist-ghcconstants/header --gcc-flag -Irts --gcc-flag -fcommon --nm-program "/usr/ccs/bin/nm"
Can't find "STD_HDR_SIZE"
