Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 8
>Description:
I tried to compile the following program with gcc -m64, and
got the following error message:

cc1: -m64 is not supported by this configuration

file x.c:
main()
{
 char *x;
 printf("%d\n", sizeof(x));
}

   I am not sure if this is a bug, or I am just doing something 
wrong.

State-Changed-Why:
    This is not a bug. You need to configure gcc so that it
    supports 64-bit target in addition to 32-bit.
    Anyway, 64-bit SPARC code generation is not supported
    in gcc 3.0.x.
