Hi all,
I posted the following to rms@gnu.org, but forgot to Cc: the list, so
here it is, in case anyone else has time to review the text too:

To build a 64-bit Emacs (with larger maximum buffer size and
including large file support) on a Solaris system which supports
64-bit executables, use the Sun compiler, configuring something like
this (see the cc documentation for information on 64-bit

As of version 2.95, GCC doesn't support the 64-bit ABI properly, but
later releases may.

There is a buglet in the version I posted to Richard. The last command,
which can be used to build a 64-bit Emacs on Solaris uses -xarch=386,
which should be replaced with the version shown above (-xarch=amd64).
Regards,
Giorgos
