Hi,
OK. Lets not beat around the bush. Can I use gcc to compile 64-bit
datatypes that employ equivalent 64-bit hardware in the Ultrasparc
(specifically the ultrasparc 5). I would rather not install gcc (using
sparc64-sun-solaris2.7) and then purchase Sun's ld. I don't see why it
can't be done using binutils. Has anybody tried this or is willing? I am
willing to help somebody with the port, because, going at it solo always
seems to be more work than it seems. Take care.

I encountered problems with Sun Ultra 10's + 5's w/Solaris 2.7(it flat does
not work, gcc goes nuts when you kick off a compile). I found a reference
that states that 64 bit and Solaris 2.7 are not supported by GCC. Any
further insight would be great, here is the reference I found:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/install/specific.html#sparc-sun-solaris2.7
relevant entry below:
sparc64-*-*
GCC version 2.95 is not able to compile code correctly for sparc64
targets. Users of the Linux kernel, at least, can use the
sparc32 program to start up a new shell invocation with an environment
that causes configure to recognize (via uname -a)
the system as sparc-*-* instead.
