  blocks configure from setting up 64 bit compilation on solaris 10
  (see uname above)
  
  Somewhere in configfsf.sub "sunos5" gets turned into solaris2.
  setting the os to solaris2.9  (I gave --build sparcv9-sun-solaris2.9 
  to configure) allows a 64 bit gmp library to build which seems
  to work (passes make check).

Thanks for the report.  The configure of what will become 4.2 has
this fixed.

In the meantime, you may want to patch configure and configure.in:
