Version:4.0.18 OS:Solaris (Solaris 9 (x86))

Description:
When trying to compile under Solaris 9 (and 10) on x86 hardware, the configure system automatically assumes 64-bit availability when in fact 64 bits is only available for AMD and SPARC based systems. When building using sun's Studio 8 compilers the make fails while running "as".

How to repeat:
Download mysql-4.0.18 source and extract.

(tcsh)

set CC="cc-5.0" 
set CXX="CC"
set ASFLAGS="-xarch=386"
set CFLAGS="-Xa -xstrconst -mt -D_FORTEC_ -xarch=386"
set CXXFLAGS="-noex -mt -D_FORTEC_ -xarch=386"

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-extra-charsets=complex \
            --enable-thread-safe-client --enable-local-infile \
            --enable-assembler --with-named-z-libs=no \
            --enable-thread-safe-client --disable-shared \
&& make 

Suggested fix:
Make 64-bit an option during configure.

Seems to be related to tcsh environment.  I did not having a problem using bash but can repeat the 
problem using tcsh.  I am looking into this further to locate the specific problem.

By adding /usr/local/bin to the PATH environment variable I was unable to reproduce the problem.

Seems to be a problem with /usr/ucb/cc which is the default compiler in the default tcsh env.  Is the 
problem our configure script or the compiler?

This is not [t]csh syntax. Or rather, it is, but it sets local variables,
not environment variables. (It corresponds to "VAR=..." without export
in sh.)
The csh syntax for setting (exported) environment variables is
"setenv VAR value", e.g. "setenv CXX CC".

Please try this, and tell me if it's still a problem.
