Solaris 10
GCC 3.4.5
GNU binutils
Berkeley DB 4.4.16

I'm getting this error when I attempt to build db:

....
usr/local/bin/ld: warning: sparc:v9 architecture of input file
`.libs/snprintf.o' is incompatible with sparc output
....

Then a little further down it errors completely out with:
db_archive.lo util_sig.lo libdb-4.4.la -lrt
/usr/local/bin/gcc -g -O2 -m64 -mptr64 -Wa,-xarch=v9 -mcpu=v9 -o
..libs/db_archive .libs/db_archive.o .libs/util_sig.o
../.libs/libdb-4.4.so -lrt -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib
../.libs/libdb-4.4.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [db_archive] Error 1


Any assistance is appreciated.

I have not seen this before, but there are posts on the web that make
me think the problem is gcc linking 64-bit objects against 32-bit
objects. Specifically, there's a note that gcc 3.X doesn't pass
appropriate 64-bit flags to the loader, and explicitly specifying the
-m64 flag to the loader worked around the problem. What I found:

Good luck,
