Looks more suitable for gcc-help mail list. Sign up at gcc.gnu.org.

All the more reason to start in a more topical place.

gcc is up to 4.2.x version.

No. Too much trouble.

Last time I compiled using gcc in Solaris I *think* there was a
-m64 or similar option within the same executable to generate
a 64 bit mode program. I think you do not have to switch
compilers but just add an option to the compiler flags.

Did you read the documentation?

Try comp.unix.solaris or gnu.gcc.help.
