Sun development tools treat Solaris as "primarily a 32-bit OS but you can build 64-bit applications if you jump through the right hoops". This differs from 64-bit versions of Linux and FreeBSD where the toolchain builds 64-bit applications by default and you need to jump through hoops to build 32-bit applications. In my experience, actually building 64-bit applications on Solaris is frustrating because configure scripts generally assume 32-bit and much of the prebuilt freeware is 32-bit only. It usually comes down to telling an application to build in 64-bit mode and then when one of the link steps blows up with the "wrong ELF class" error, working back to find which dependency is wrong and why it didn't obey the "-m64" or equivalent. -- Peter Jeremy
