I hope it's 64, here is my mk.conf:
MACHINE_ARCH=sparc64
OBJECT_FMT=ELF

CC=     gcc -m64
LD=     ld --oformat=elf64-sparc
TSORT=  tsort
RENAME=

if I do 'boot kadb -d' and after prompt '/bsd/netbsd'
then I get 
Size: 2120986+281256 Bytes
/bsd/netbsd loaded - 0x29e000 bytes used
kadb[0]:

I tried to check and to start it after that by everything I tried
led me into firmware prompt. I've got to learn some adb/kadb stuff.

I think it may destroy my solaris. What do you think?

I saw the guy was able to netboot, so I'm trying to built ofwboot for
that purpose,
currently I lack crt0.o what kind of surprise me.

Should standalone program have crt0? Is my environment screwd?
