STRANGE: Newly Compiled GCC 4.4.4 on Solaris sparc gives problem with -m32/-m64 flags
Hello experts,
This issue has kept me busy all day long. It started off with openssl compilation which was giving linking error with following message:
/usr/local/bin/ld: target elf32-sparc not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I tried every step possible thing that I could think of but was not able to resolve the issue. Although I came to know that specifying -m32/-m64 flag with my newly built gcc has started reporting this issue. I have tried to provide all neccessary details below including the test program which when I try to compile gives the same issue.
Note: I am using GNU binaries(bintuils 2.21)

If I remove the -m32/-m64 flag output file is successfully generated.

Could anyone please help me figure out why I am seeing this behavior. I have literally pulled my hair so much that my forehead has started to ache. :-(
