I don't have my notes on the specifics anymore, but the stock prefab gcc is almost certainly NOT going to build 64-bit binaries. What you end up having to do is ... download your favorite gcc core version, and then configure it to build sparcv9 binaries (64-bit sparc). Check the gcc documentation for more details. But gcc -v output will look something like this: Configured with: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-3.0.1-64bit --enable-languages=c,sparcv9-sun-solaris : (reconfigured) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-3.0.1-64bit --enable-languages=c,sparcv9-sun-solaris --with-cc=cc : (reconfigured) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-3.0.1-64bit --enable-languages=c,c++,sparcv9-sun-solaris Good luck...
