Getting updates for Sun products is not easy now that Oracle runs
the show :(

Certainly:

* Configured with --disable-dependency-tracking
  --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-shared --with-pic
  --without-readline CC='cc -xtarget=opteron -xarch=amd64'

Of course:

        .text
        .align  16
        .globl  __gmpn_add_nc
        .type   __gmpn_add_nc, at function
__gmpn_add_nc:



        mov     %ecx, %eax
        shr     $2, %rcx    <---- line 86
        and     $3, %eax
        bt      $0, %r8     <---- line 88
        jrcxz   .Llt4

If I drop xtarget/xarch, the build triplet is detected as coreisbr-pc-
solaris2.10 (I want x86_64 for the CPU) and the configure script
errors out with

    configure: error: Oops, mp_limb_t is 32 bits, but the assembler code
    in this configuration expects 64 bits.

If I use -xarch=native64, I get the same assembler error as before.
