Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-12036:
-----------------------------------------------

    bq. The first item is needed for 64-bit builds on Solaris. That's because 
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR is the same as the output of 'uname -p', which 'i386' on 
Solaris x86 for example, because we support both 32 and 64 bit executables      
         simultaneously. We have to fake it up this way to get CMake to build 
64 bit. That's what the comment above the block in question is saying. Horrid, 
yes.

Ah, ok.

bq. The workaround \[for bzip2 library finding issues\] is to set 
CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE to the correct value for the LP64 library location 
on the platform "amd64" or "sparcv9".

Good idea.  I see that the patch sets this for Solaris.  Should we do this for 
Linux as well?  Or should we do that in a follow-on, in case it's disruptive?

{code}
130 # Add in support other compilers here, if necessary.
131 if(NOT (CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCC AND CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX))
132
133 # Assume GCC and set the shared compiler flags.
134 else()
135     hadoop_add_compiler_flags("${GCC_SHARED_FLAGS}")
136 endif()
{code}
Hmm, if I'm reading this right, I still don't think this will work for clang or 
icc?  Clang won't set CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCC or CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX set, 
so it won't get the correct CFLAGS set.  Maybe let's just get rid of this if 
statement  and add a comment saying that compiler which don't use the gcc flags 
should be special-cased here. (We don't support any such compilers yet, but 
we'd like to in the future)

thanks
