[SEToolkit-developer] Building 64bit binaries

[Jon C. <can...@gm...>]

Once I got past my gcc issues I noticed that the binaries/objects
being generated were 32bit.  When I started toptool as a test I
noticed it complained about not being able to initialize libkvm.  I
manually added a '-m64' to my Makefiles to force gcc to build 64bit
binaries and was immediately faced with not have a 64bit version of
libgcc.

Not wanting to work through building a 64 bit version of libgcc, I
instead resurected by SUN Studio 11 install and re-ran autoreconf to
setup for builds using SUNWspro.  While successful, I noticed this too
built 32 bit objects.  I again manually added "-xtarget=generic64
-xarch=v9" to my "CFLAGS" line in the Makefile to force 64bit builds.
This was successful, and comparing the ldd output between this new
build and a 3.4.1 version in /opt/RICHPse, they now match.

Toptool starts like a champ and no longer displays the libkvm error.
If it would be of value I can continue forward with a GCC build, but
lacking an interest by others I would most likely just stick with
SUNWspro.
