gcc 3.something does 64.

We're successfully building a 64-bit kernel/user product with gcc on
Solaris 8 & 9.  We stopped using the Sun compiler when we moved to
Solaris 9, and don't particularly want to go back.

I was just hoping for a stable and predictable way to keep OpenSSL and
(a small amount of) other third-party stuff up to date, preferably
following Solaris conventions for mixed ISA.

At the moment, I just build and package this stuff manually, and
pretend there is no 32-bit SPARC.  :-(
