The bootstrap compile and work fine for me, I begin to compile my essential 
packages.

Thanks for you (very fast) help.

PS:
Maybe you know, I wrap my gcc compiler and it make true 64bit binaries.
I will be please if you include this patch in bootstrap , the reason is
a new arch for Solaris that is usefull for multimedia package.
(avoid to compile i386 assembler when ABI is 64 and/or guess the real 
processor).
 That was a talk with Joerg and he found this idea not bad.

I think my patch have no side effect with other Solaris users (gcc/SunPro)

here is the patch I hope:
