Hi John,

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18659_01/html/821-1384/gexcx.html

says that the -m64 flag would be needed to create a 64-bit executable. It
also says -m32 it required to create 32-bit executable. It is not too clear
on the default, but I rather suspect it is still 32-bit. The latest version
is Solaris 11.3. I'm running Solaris 11, but not 11.3.

I believe SAGE64 does more than just add the -m64 flag in a couple of
places, so I would propose it is not removed, as it would effectively kit
any attempt to build a 64-bit Solaris version of Sage.

Dave
