Re: Solaris 64bit mode: crash in longjmp()

The fact is ST was never ported to 64-bit mode on Solaris.
In 64-bit mode (LP64) jmp_buf structure is completely different,
that's why you are getting crashes.

Now, how do you compile 64-bit mode with gcc? Special compiler
flags? Do you need special 64-bit gcc version? I have an access
to Solaris 9 box on Sourceforge farm so I may try to port it
if that box supports 64-bit mode:

$ uname -a
SunOS sparc-solaris1 5.9 Generic_112233-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.3.1
