#39 Sun Studio 12 cc: -xarch=v9 deprecated

[Anonymous]

In Sun Studio 12, the -xarch=v9 setting has been deprecated and replaced with "-m64". Using -xarch=v9 elicits a warning:

cc: Warning: -xarch=v9 is deprecated, use -m64 to create 64-bit programs

As a result of this, the separate sparcv7/ and sparcv9/ binaries are no longer generated, since the configure script things -xarch=v9 is not supported.

Thanks for the note. I will get a fix in to the next beta. At least the new flag is consistent with gcc.

Sun Studio 12 cc on Solaris 10 x86_64 also gives a similar warning:

configure:6171: checking whether compiler accepts -xarch=amd64
configure:6199: cc -o conftest -m64 -xarch=amd64 conftest.c -lm -ltermcap -lkvm -lkstat -lelf >&5
cc: Warning: -xarch=amd64 is deprecated, use -m64 to create 64-bit programs
configure:6205: $? = 0
