The configure line doesn't match the title of the report: the compiler has been
configured as a native 64-bit compiler.  How did you compile it?

Neither does it.  This one seems to be a native 64-bit compiler compiled by a
64-bit compiler, which is correct.


That's pretty confusing.  What are you trying to do?  If you want to build a
full 64-bit toochain, just build everything directly as 64-bit either with "cc
-xarch=v9" or "gcc -m64" and don't enter the 32/64-bit mixing game.

SPARC V9 is pretty confusing, SPARC64 is a much better moniker.  The
sparc-sun-solaris2.* compiler is a multilib 32-bit compiler and must be
compiled by a pre-existing 32-bit compiler (e.g. cc).  The
sparc64-sun-solaris2.* compiler a multilib 64-bit compiler and must be compiled
by a pre-existing 64-bit compiler (e.g. cc -xarch=v9).  Using any other
combination is asking for trouble.

The problem you have run into indeed seems to be a duplicate of 23541.  It
doesn't show up for me probably because libintl is configured differently.
