Wasn't this issue (or a similar one) previously reported and "simply"

As a general statement, this is not correct.
64 Bit windows builds 32 bit JDK for windows just fine
Correct, it has worked on windows for a long time.
64 bit Solaris (all there is really on SPARC), builds a 32 bit JDK just
fine.
Ok. But some of the issues on Linux do not seem obviously linux specific.
SInce RE build this way I am fairly sure it must work (more than)
adequately.
Same should be true for Linux as far as I know.
No Linux is broken. There are a few places where the compiler is
invoked without -m32 or -m64 and so defaults to building the native
format ie 64-bit on 64-bit. See 7171653 for a problem with the sizers
utility, and 7153072 in general.
OK, I did say "as far as I know". I only claimed what I know to be the
case ...
