[OpenIndiana-discuss] shouldn't uname report 64 bit arch?

[Pierfrancesco Caci]

understood. How do I tell ./configure to compile for 64 bit then? It is
basically using the wrong test to decide the architecture, but I don't know
how to change it.
I can see that config.guess has this portion:


   i86pc:SunOS:5.*:* | i86xen:SunOS:5.*:*)
        set_cc_for_build
        SUN_ARCH=i386
        # If there is a compiler, see if it is configured for 64-bit
objects.
        # Note that the Sun cc does not turn __LP64__ into 1 like gcc does.
        # This test works for both compilers.
        if test "$CC_FOR_BUILD" != no_compiler_found; then
            if (echo '#ifdef __amd64'; echo IS_64BIT_ARCH; echo '#endif') |
\
                (CCOPTS="" $CC_FOR_BUILD -E - 2>/dev/null) | \
                grep IS_64BIT_ARCH >/dev/null
            then
                SUN_ARCH=x86_64
            fi
        fi

not sure if it is relevant though.
