[darcs-users] darcs host binary (x86/Solaris)

Hi Guys,
I've been using GNU arch for over 6 months. I like it, but my
colloboraters hate it. It's time for a change.
I've been reading about darcs for the past 4 months. It sounds great.
I'm excited that scripts exists to convert a GNU arch repo into a
darcs repo. However, there is one problem.
It sounds as if I must have a native binary for each system on which I
wish to use darcs. Initially I thought this wouldn't be a problem
since I develop on a x86 GNU/Linux platform. However, my files (the
"master" darcs repository) are hosted on a x86 Solaris box. I've been
unable to find a x86 Solaris binary for either darcs or ghc. I spent
half a day trying to bootstrap ghc with no luck. :(
So, is there a way to use darcs with only having a binary on the
client machine (in my case x86 GNU/Linux) and not having a binary on
the host machine (in my case x86 Solaris)? Why does darcs require a
binary on the host and systems like CVS and GNU arch do not?
Thanks.
