Thank you for the hint!  I use -threaded (not -parallel) in the
.cabal, but I did notice a hackage warning recently saying that
-threaded has no impact on libraries.  Aside from the tests, HSH is
library only.  I'll see about just removing -threaded entirely.

Oh drat, now I'm confused.  The problem was when it tried to run
tests.  Does this mean that sparc64 doesn't support threaded RTS?  HSH
does now require threaded RTS, I believe.
