Yes I've built gmp on its own before on Solaris:
configure --prefix=$PREFIX --build=sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11 ABI=64

Any build/host target which starts with sparcv9 or sparc64 signifies
64-bit binaries.

I'm not saying build.sh needs to know about Solaris, but with pkgsrc
there is ABI=64 to force compiler generate 64-bit binaries. I was
hoping something similar may exist for build.sh. But seems like it may
not be the case.

I'll do some more digging, may be gmp configure script needs patching
to autodetect the type of object files created by build compiler.
