I don't know Solaris, but on 64-bit Irix, you can execute the 32bit
applications, so that there it seems to me to be just a question of
organizing everything.  Ie, set different compiler flags and different
PREFIX and other variables, so that you have two locations to install
in.  Maybe have two mk.conf files and symlink or alias ``bmake32'' or
``bmake64'' to a make that uses /etc/mk.conf.32 or /etc/mk.conf.64
respectively.

Well, this is all just speculative, but good luck!

This one's tricky. You have to use imaginary numbers, like eleventeen...
