I'm sorry for late response, I was offline for last week. Current
Solaris packages use 32/64bit information. See following output:
postgres=# select version();
version
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 8.3.5 64-bit on i386-pc-solaris2.11, compiled
by /opt/SUNWspro.40/SS12/bin/cc -Xa
The information about 32/64bit is important, because both versions are
available, but for some reason they not have same features enabled (e.g.
PL/pgPerl is not in 64bit version). These difference are described in
the special man page and users need to easily determine which version is
running.
