[M3devel] 64bit big-endian

[microcode at zoho.com]

Hi,

Looking at the uploaded archives page, can anybody please explain the
difference between all these versions and exactly what each one is?

1. Target Platform AMD64_SOLARIS
2. Target Platform I386_SOLARIS
3. Target Platform SOLgnu
4. Target Platform SOLsun
5. Target Platform SPARC32_SOLARIS
6. Target Platform SPARC64_SOLARIS

1 and 2 would seem obvious enough except that the existence of 3 and 4
suggests 1 and 2 may have been built with gcc or Solaris Studio. That means
1 and 2 aren't obvious anymore, nor are 3 or 4. All I can tell from this is
1 and 2 are 64 and 32 bit versions for Solaris Intel and 5 and 6 are 32 and
64 bit versions for Solaris SPARC. I don't know what architecture 3 and 4
are designed to run on. 5 and 6 would seem obvious except now we're back to
wondering whether they were built with gcc or Solaris Studio.

I didn't understand Jay's comment below. Do you guys not have Solaris SPARC
boxes in your build farm?

Thank you.

Israel
