It's not possible to generate bindings for 32-bit Perl to 64-bit
PostgreSQL. If you want proper multiple-instruction set support in
Solaris (see isaexec(3), isalist(5)), you need to install 64-bit
executables and libraries in a subdir corresponding to the ISA name
(e.g. sparcv9 or amd64) and build the 32-bit binaries separately.
