             Bug #: 54155
           Summary: Newly compiled GCC 4.4.4 on Solaris sparc gives
                    problem with -m32/-m64 flags
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.4.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: dshanke@gmail.com


This issue has kept me busy all day long. It started off with openssl
compilation which was giving linking error with following message:
/usr/local/bin/ld: target elf32-sparc not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I tried every step possible thing that I could think of but was not able to
resolve the issue. Although I came to know that specifying -m32/-m64 flag with
my newly built gcc has started reporting this issue. I have tried to provide
all necessary details below including the test program which when I try to
compile gives the same issue.
Note: I am using GNU binaries(bintuils 2.21)

If I eliminate the -m32/-m64 flag output file is successfully generated.

Is it something that has gone wrong during configuration due to which the
compiler does not recognize the -m option?
Please help!
