He uses Solaris and compiles for 64-bit mode, rather than the 32-bit
mode you're compiling for.

The 64-bit kernel is perfectly capable of running 32-bit binaries, and
that's precisely what you're doing.  Solaris in 64-bit mode is just like
every other 64-bit UNIX.

Every useful 32-bit UNIX is ILP32.  Every mainstream 64-bit UNIX is
I32LP64.  (Ignoring oddities like UNICOS.)  If sizeof(long)==4, you're
on a 32-bit platform.  If sizeof(long)==8, you're on a 64-bit platform.
