Illumos is not 64 bit ready. This is why the compiler has to target 32 bit by

It has been 64-bit ready since 1995.

At the time (and even now), most apps did not benefit from 64-bit, although they consumed more memory and disk space. It was only when AMD introduced its AMD64 architecture that apps not requiring a huge data-set might benefit from 64-bit.
