Description:
The sources from bk at Tue May 11 17:38:15 CEST 2004 dont compile on solaris 9 with gcc:

How to repeat:
just simple try to make it.

sorry, I forget to mention some version:

# make -v

If you compile a 64bit binary, you need to remove the "--enable-assembler" option
from the configure line - the assembler code is 32bit only...

The documentation here shows examples of using -m64 and --enable-assembler: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Solaris.html

This doesn't work, though.  The assembler can only be used in 32-bit binaries.

In that case this should be corrected:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Solaris.html

"To create a 64-bit Solaris binary using gcc, add -m64 to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. Note that this works only with MySQL 4.0 and up; MySQL 3.23 does not include the required modifications to support this."

I can fix the section indicated by previous discussion, but
this bug report cannot be closed yet. One of the buildmeisters
needs to look at this section in the manual:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/MySQL_binaries.html

There is a Solaris 64-bit entry that has both -m64 and
--enable-assembler. According to this bug report, that
cannot be correct.  See the entry for:

Sun Solaris 8 SPARC 64-bit with gcc 3.2

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the
documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website
shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant
product(s).
