How to repeat:
Compile server as in description.

Suggested fix:
Unknown.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

In the original description, i wrote "CPPFLAGS=".  I meant to write "CXXFLAGS=", as that's what I actually used when building the server (I did not set CPPFLAGS).

Reproducing a comment from bug#31268 that deals with building 64 bit binaries on Solaris x86:

 [4 Dec 15:15] Kent Boortz

The problem with "-m64" not passed to "gcc -print-search-paths"
seem to be fixed in libtool 1.5.24, at least the code doing
this check now handles "multilibs".

I think no documentation change is needed for this, unless
some hints should be added to the Solaris specific page.
The hint would be something like

  Building a 64-bit binary on Solaris AMD64 with gcc might fail.
  Not going into why (see bug#31268), you can work around this by
  forcing the build to be 64-bit

  o Give "--build=x86_64-pc-solaris2.10" as a configure argument

  o Give "-m64" part of CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS

  o Configure and run make like

    % LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/amd64 ./configure .....
    % LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/amd64 gmake

Added this bug number to the changelog entry for Bug#31268.
