Question on target specifications for a SPARC machine

["Mark Cuss" <mcuss at cdlsystems dot com>]

Hi All

How do the target specifications work for a sun machine?  I'm trying to 
build a Linux to Solaris on SPARC cross compiler.

I'm using "sparc-sun-solaris2.9" for the target...  Does the 2.9 indicate 
the target version of Solaris, or the version of the SPARC architecture, or 
??? .  I've dug around and can't seem to track this info down...  I'm a bit 
of a newbie at this stuff so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mark
