I'm running Solaris 8 under a 64-bit kernel jus' fine. I get around these
problems by passing --disable-multilib to the top-level configure script.
All the 64-bit/sparcv9 stuff goes away, and the resulting (32-bit) compiler
works great.
The multilib stuff is intended to provide, well, multiple libraries /
ABIs for those platforms which support them (sparc vs sparcv9 on Suns,
o32/n32/64 on SGIs, etc). It can be a real hassle if you don't need any
of it, but a lifesaver when you do.
