Thanks Eugene, I used some of your ideas for "inspiration".
My final solution was
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/64:/usr/sfw/lib/64
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CFLAGS=?-m64?
export CFLAGS
LDFLAGS=?-m64?
export LDFLAGS
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2
make
make install
file httpd
httpd: ELF 64-bit MSB executable SPARCV9 Version 1,
dynamically linked, not stripped, no debugging information available
I don't know which, if any, of the above settings are
necessary/unnecessary. I'm a bit curious but don't really have the budget
to play around.
One trap though in case any other newbies are interested : after a failed
attempt, remove the http installation directory and untar the installation
download afresh. I got caught out with that one - there were 32bit ".o"
files that were not being clobbered and were stuffing the make up.
Thanks again.

Subject: Re: [users@httpd] 64 Bit Apache httpd on Solaris
I compile Httpd with SunStudio using options:
CC=cc \
CFLAGS="-fast -xO4 -mt -xtarget=generic -m64 -DSSL_EXPERIMENTAL
-DSSL_ENGINE" \
CXX=$CC \
CXXFLAGS="$CFLAFS" \
LDFLAGS="-xtarget=generic -m64 -L/usr/sfw/lib/64 -L/usr/lib/64
-R/usr/sfw/lib/64 -R/usr/lib/64" \
GREP=grep \
./configure \
## here is the set of httpd configuration options ##
"-m64" turns 64-bit on

Subject: [users@httpd] 64 Bit Apache httpd on Solaris
Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2011 04:00:37 +0000
The Goal
A 64bithttpd executable on Solaris 5.10, (independent of the "out of the
box Solaris Apache server).
(isainfo ?v
64-bit sparcv9 applications
fmaf vis2 vis popc
32-bit sparc applications
fmaf vis2 vis popc v8plus div32 mul32 )
Current Postion
A 32bithttpd executable on Solaris 5.10. -->
/usr/local/apache2/bin > file httpd
httpd: ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1,
dynamically linked, not stripped
Steps Taken
1) Download httpd-2.2.17.tar.gz and copy to Solaris server. (
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi)
Nothing I could find at the download site about a 32bit/64bit
download - so I assume this is
determined at configuration/compilation time and there's just the
one download for both setups.
2) Follow instructions in httpd-2.2.17\INSTALL document. Install
into /usr/local/apache2
Nothing in the instructions matching search strings "64", "32" or
"bit".
Checkhttp://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/install.html -- same result
Run httpd-2.2.17 > ./configure --help ... no sign of anything in
the help options about configure 32 or 64 bit.
3) Search apache.org website - some instruction about Win64 but
nothing useful for Solaris.
Google - used key words/phrases such as "compiling 64 bit
solaris", "Apache 64 bit Solaris", "Apache 64bit CFLAGS"
"CFLAGS syntax"
I found a few reasonable matches, but at best the sites either
give me a better general understanding
of this stuff, or they show some compile options that result in
errors, (not much use).
Where to go from here
Obviously this stuff is not my primary area of expertise, but my hunch is
that this "problem" might have a fairly simple solution - perhaps
a compiler option or something, but be stuffed if I can find it. If
someone would be kind enough to help me along a bit with this it would be
greatly appreciated.
Cheers All
