Use the —m32 option to compile for the ILP32 32–bit model. Use the —m64 option to compile for the LP64 64–bit model.
The ILP32 model specifies that C-language int, long, and pointer data types are all 32 bits wide. The LP64 model specifies that long and pointer data types are all 64 bits wide. The Oracle Solaris and Linux OS also support large files and large arrays under the LP64 memory model.
When you compile with —m64, the resulting executable works only on 64-bit UltraSPARC or x86 processors under Solaris OS or Linux OS running a 64-bit kernel. Compilation, linking, and execution of 64-bit objects can only take place in a Solaris or Linux OS that supports 64-bit execution.
