Comment:
The comment in SPKG.txt is inaccurate, as the patch is not specific to
Open Solaris.
A more accurate comment would be.
* #8097 Ensures the compiler flag -m64 is added at any time SAGE64 was
set to "yes" - previously this was only happening on OS X. This should aid
building 64-bit on any platform, although it has only been tested on Open
Solaris.
It's far better to open a ticket for the bug first, before trying to fix
it. Then the ticket number can be placed in the comments in SPKG.txt.
It would be good to see some evidence the patch actually works. Such as by
showing the output of the 'ldd' command, that the library and/or binary is
now a 64-bit one. For some packages, it is unnecessary to add -m64 and for
others, adding it does not generate 64-bit binaries.
For zlib, adding -m64 stops the build of shared libraries.
