Er... looks like one of the techniques has got it wrong
Or does something else explain this?
That works on Linux distros which have separate 32-bit & 64-bit versions
and compile every binary in the OS to match.
That doesn't work on Solaris-derived distros which have a unified 32/64 bit
version that supports binaries of either flavor, and which many programs are
32-bit so they can run on either 32-bit or 64-bit kernels.
As distros drop 32-bit kernel support, they'll likely convert more and more
of their programs to 64-bit, but it can be a gradual process, not a flag day.
For the one I work on (not OI, but "Big Red"), we've been making this conversion
across 5+ years now, and are >90% done in our development trunk, though much
less done in what's been released so far. I've written far more about the
topic for the terminally curious at:
