Thanks for the info. The -G flag does it.
I managed to solve my problem thus:
(On a clean source)
Configure -Dcc=gcc -des -Duse64bitall \
-Aldflags="-mcpu=v9 -m64" \
-Alddlflags="-mcpu=v9 -m64 -G"
Then "make", which proceeds without problem. All the tests in "make test"
pass.
So now I have a 64 bit Perl. I successfully managed to build a 64 bit
DBD::Oracle on top of that. (Linked against the 64 bit libs of Oracle 9)
I think the solaris hints file has a few problems. I have an idea where that
might be, but will look into that further once I'll have some more time.
