Summary:                    Build a sparcv9 64-bit threaded perl
Description: 
Perl 5.10.1 has improved support for threads. SPARC is 64-bit for a long
time. 
Please switch to using Sun Studio 12 rather than Sun Studio 11 and drop
any pretense of support for Solaris 8 which is more a year past end of
support life.

Please do NOT use the -fast option as this introduces math inaccuracies
and, per the compiler man page, can produce problems with running on a
target other than the intended. Rather, specify individual options to the
compiler. Among other things it's not a good idea to use -fsimple with a
value >0 as this affects IEEE 754 compliance (thereby screwing up Math::
modules).

Please build Solaris 10-native 5.10.1 using switches -mt -xtarget=ultra3i
-xarch=sparcvis2 -m64 -xipo -x04
