No, -mcpu=v9 means generate code for SPARC v9 chip, it does not say anything
about whether it should be 32-bit or 64-bit.
If you want 64-bit code, you should use -m64 option (unless 64-bit is the
default, depending on how gcc was configured).
And in that case, __sparcv9 will be defined (on Solaris, in Linux
__arch64__). -m32 -mcpu=v9 just generates 32-bit code which can use
instructions which are not present in SPARC v8 ISA.
