Maybe a stupid question, but why don't you use the Sun Compiler? It's
available for free, too.

Did you set ABI=64 in mk.conf? If so, maybe you should take a look
into work/.work.log to see what command
caused the error and report it, so someone can provide a fix.

I don't know whether gcc is able to ceate 64-bit results if itself is
built for 32-bit only. I think (assume) it should. I don't have access
to a gcc 3.x anymore, but IIRC -m64 was supported there, too.

I know I had problems with gnu libtools installed when using Sun
Compiler, maybe there is a similar issue vice versa?
