Sun still hasn't fixed the specs of the gcc they ship? :-(

You can try adding -R/usr/sfw/lib/amd64 to LDFLAGS.
Search this list for other emails where I explain the issue if needed.

Read the doc. ABI=32 is the "force to 32 bits" option. And indeed, unless 
you want to build a 64 bits gcc, it is probably what you need.

I think the gmp configure tries 64 bits by default but does not know how 
to force 64-bit mode on x86_64 with the Sun compiler (-xarch=whatever, or 
-m64 for the latest version), so it just uses the default mode, sees that 
it happily compiles, does not check that the result is indeed 64 bits, and 
decides that 64 bits it is. If that is it, I had the same issue on linux 
with suncc but never got round to submitting an actual bug report. In any 
case you can specify whatever options are appropriate with CFLAGS.

Future versions of solaris should ship with gmp included (I think it was 
accepted recently), but I have no idea when that is.

PS: I notice the latest sparc64 processors have FPMADDXHI, maybe a first 
step to reconcile gmp and Sun (well Fujitsu really) :-)
