Probably not, unless someone requested them.

We never do manual installs of software, it's unmaintainable. For
Solaris we have a well-developed system to build local packages.

It supports both. All Toolserver machines are 64-bit.

If you're talking about Perl specifically, our local Solaris Perl build
is compiled as 32-bit, but has 64-bit integers enabled. For other
languages, it depends; in C, for example, it isn't an issue, since you
can just use int64_t. (Nearly all 32-bit systems, including Solaris and
Linux, provide 64-bit integers even in 32-bit mode.)
