gmake check-packages fails for ghc-6.8.0.20071017-src on solaris

the tests in the toplevel Makefile go wrong:

 check-packages :
-       @for d in `cat libraries/core-packages`; do \
+       @ds=`cat libraries/core-packages`;\
+       for d in $$ds; do \
          if test ! -d libraries/$$d; then \
             echo "Looks like you're missing libraries/$$d,"; \
             echo "maybe you haven't done './darcs-all get'?"; \
             exit 1; \
          fi \
        done
-       @if test ! -e libraries/base/configure; then \
+       @if test ! -f libraries/base/configure; then \
            echo "Looks like you're missing base's configure script."; \

sh test under solaris does not understand '-e' and 'cat libraries/core-packages' is treated as a single argument if not assigned to a variable.
