  I see. I suppose then it's just a question of whether gcc can create
the 64-bit executables in a format compatible with Solaris. I assume it can.

  I suppose that the configure script could somehow detect that the system
is an x86-64 running Solaris and test if 64-bit binaries can be compiled.
Of course there should still be an option to compile a 32-bit binary
anyways, if the user wants one.
