This is fixed with patch 108908-02 for Solaris 2.6 and has been fixed in later (5.x) versions of the assembler, starting with Solaris 7. +Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing +64-bit SPARC V9 binaries. GCC 3.0 doesn't properly support this yet. +Although some patches or recipes to enable this support have been posted +to various newsgroups and mailing lists, we recommend against using +them, since the compiler may either crash or, worse, silently generate +bad code. If you really need this capability now, you might try a CVS +version of GCC 3.1, which will fully support this. If all you want is +code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you should try the +@option{-mtune=ultrasparc} option instead, which should be safe from +those bugs and produce code that, unlike full 64-bit code, can still run +on non-UltraSPARC machines. + @html </p> <hr> |
