I am trying to compile perl 5.8.8 on Solaris 10 (sparc). There is a known but that during the compile at this point, the program somewhere runs getconf and it returns generic64 instead of v9.
I try to run
/usr/bin/getconf -a | sed -e 's/generic64/v9/'
but that only changes it temporarily, and it reverts to the generic64 during the perl compile. Some users said they have a fix but I can't find what it is.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you

Checking to see how big your pointers are...
/usr/ccs/bin/as: error: unknown option 'xarch=generic64'
usage: /usr/ccs/bin/as [-V] [-Q{y,n}] [-q] [-s]
[-S] [-K {pic,PIC}] [-o objfile] [-L] [-T]
[-P [[-Yc,path] [-Ipath] [-Dname] [-Dname=def] [-Uname]]...]
[-m [-Ym,path]] [-n] [-ul] [-xF] [-xarch={v7,v8,v8a,v8plus,v8plusa,v8plusb,v9,v9a,v9b}] [-xcode={pic13,pic32}] file.s...
(I can't seem to compile the test program. Guessing...)
What is the size of a pointer (in bytes)? [4]
