I found that interesting too, which is one reason I showed that output
to Ben in our other discussion. I trust that he'll flag it if its wrong.
However, emacs configure is happy with this, so perhaps it's really OK,

I'll fix whatever is needed there.

Isn't the idea of having a "vendor" for instruction sets rather
dated? I surely don't care who made my CPU, only what ISA it
supports and what OS is running.

amd64 support for Solaris came with Solaris 10 (2005), and most people
build the default that they get, which is 32-bit, never thinking to dig
deeper. I wanted a 64-bit emacs specifically to get around the buffer size
limit. So, perhaps I really am the first to hit this.

Understood, and I have been sending context diffs until this
last one. The bits that got missed made me think that perhaps
it was the wrong thing. Sorry, I'll go back to doing that.
