529,sdist creation code currently doesn't work with Solaris's tar,igloo,,"Cabal's sdist creation code currently doesn't work on Solaris.
The code (in Cabal's Distribution/Simple/SrcDist.hs) is:
{{{
let tarBallFilePath = targetPref </> tarBallName pkg_descr <.> ""tar.gz""
rawSystemProgram verbosity tarProg
         [""-C"", tmpDir, ""-czf"", tarBallFilePath, tarBallName pkg_descr]
return tarBallFilePath
}}}
but it looks like we need this instead:
{{{
let tarFilePath = targetPref </> tarBallName pkg_descr <.> ""tar""
    tarBallFilePath = tarFilePath <.> ""gz""
rawSystemProgram verbosity tarProg
         [""-cf"", tarFilePath, ""-C"", tmpDir, tarBallName pkg_descr]
rawSystemProgram verbosity gzipProg
         [tarFilePath]
removeFile tarFilePath
return tarBallFilePath
}}}
Note that we don't actually tell gzip where to put the output, but I can't see a way to do so without messing with stdout.

See http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3106 for more details on the problems.
