64bit Executable Support on Solaris 9

64bit Executable Support on Solaris 9

[Benjamin Krueger]

I've recently installed the Sunfreeware gcc 3.2 package on a
SPARCengine AXi (UltraSPARC-IIi 270MHz) running Solaris 9 Generic 64-bit. I'd
like to be able to compile 64-bit executables, however compiling even the
following simple code fails to work. Google references to this error and
similar errors vary wildly and as far as I can tell from my limited
programming knowledge, aren't applicable to this problem.

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
	printf("Hello, World.\n");
	return -1;
}

# gcc -m32 -o test32 test.c
# ./test32
Hello, World.
# gcc -m64 -o test64 test.c
ld: fatal: file /usr/lib/sparcv9/values-Xa.o: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to test64
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
# locate values-Xa.o
/usr/ccs/lib/sparcv9/values-Xa.o
/usr/ccs/lib/values-Xa.o
/usr/lib/sparcv9/values-Xa.o
/usr/lib/values-Xa.o

All of the above files are ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable SPARC Version 1

Is there anything special I should be doing here to create a 64bit executable?
Am I missing something?

Please CC me in replies as I am not subscribed to this list.

This file shouldn't be. I don't have Solaris 9 to play with but it's
definitely 64-bit on Solaris 8. (The CCS one is probably just a symlink
to this.)

I don't see 64-bit Solaris 9 in the gcc-testresults archives but I can't
imagine Sun have changed this. My gut reaction is that someone's been
messing around with your install: maybe copying over the file themselves
because it wasn't there when they tried? See what's in package SUNWarcx
on your install media and/or try reinstalling it.

Sorry that's not much use,
Rup.
