Hmph. I would suggest you take this up with the maintainer of the gcc packages on Blastwave.

I do not know if the latest S10 update release gcc in /usr/sfw/bin has all of the fixes needed to compile QEMU correctly, but I do know that compiler does have 64-bit support.

The binaries I built originally were built using the /usr/sfw/bin/gcc on OpenSolaris build 46... no magic. I do not recall which toolchain was used by Martin to build the packages. Hopefully Martin is watching this and will respond on what he did to build the packages. ;)
