Just for the records. Compiling my second c++ port, devel/ncurses results in 
the same issue. 

Compiling my third c++ port, devel/gmp causes issues already in the 
configuration phase:

checking compiler gcc -mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=v9 -O2 -pipe has 
sizeof(long)==4... no
configure: error: could not find a working compiler, see config.log for details
*** Error code 1

A test showed that type long is 8 bytes on Solaris 64 bit. Is that so uncommon? 
How do other 64 bit pkgsrc architectures deal with gmp? Gmp is needed to 
compile recent gccs.
