cd gmp-5.0.1
./configure --prefix=/usr/local ABI=32

now all 'make check' tests pass with sun cc 5.9 on solaris 10 sparc

yes, still supported. but note the warning in the following output...

libtool: link: cc -xc99=all -xO4 -xarch=v8plus -xchip=ultra -o 
.libs/t-locale t-locale.o  ../../tests/.libs/libtests.a 
/u2/coreteam/t077416/share/src/gmp-5.0.1/.libs/libgmp.so 
../../.libs/libgmp.so -R/usr/local/lib/lib
cc: Warning: -xarch=v8plus is deprecated, use -m32 -xarch=sparc instead

I also tried to build the 4.3.2 version but it fails in the final link 
see the attached output file.

If you want me to test something on that platform, just drop me an e-mail.

cheers
