Solaris 10 01/06

x86/x64

/home/rmk> gcc -v
Reading specs from /opt/sfw/gcc-2/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.10/2.95.3/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

sparc64

/home/rmk> gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/sfw/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.3/specs
Configured with: /gates/sfw10/builds/sfw10-gate/usr/src/cmd/gcc/gcc-3.4.3/configure --prefix=/usr/sfw --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --with-gnu-as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-shared
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath)

So the sparc64 version has a "better" compiler.
