libraries/primitive build failure on Solaris 10
Solaris 10 is distributed with GNU C 3.4.3 compiler. This compiler does not support -ftree-vectorize command-line option and so its cc1 process fails on it which also mean that ghc-cabal fails compiling primitive package. The solution is simple to remove the -ftree-vectorize for solaris although it'll penalize Solaris 11 which is distributed with GNU C 4.6.2. I've solved that and provided a patch to primitive project in a pull request here: https://github.com/haskell/primitive/pull/6 I've entered the bug here to also track it and lobby for this issue to be solved for 7.8.1 release.
