I'm using gcc, so it would be -mcpu=v9 to force a 64 bit compile. To
check I did:

$ find . -name 'Makefile' |xargs egrep 'v9|mcpu|xarch|v9|fast'

which only matched a few lines relating to make bootfast.

And sure enough:

$ file emacs-22.0.50.1
emacs-22.0.50.1:        ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1,
dynamically linked, not stripped

So that's not it. But it got me hoping!

Cheers,

Mark.
