The variable reference lacked a description of
  BUILD64_ONLY = 1
which means to build only the 64 bit version. I guess this is what you need to
verify the assumption on 64 bit.

You can see what flags are passed by using
  mgar modenv

Setting flags about optimization, ISA, memorymodel manually in CFLAGS is extremely
dangerous as it interferes with the flags GAR sets for you. If you want to make
changes please override/adjust the respective compile-specific variables:
  http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/gar/v2/gar.conf.mk#L224
Usually this means selecting the correct ISA and then adding things as necessary.

Right.

To go back to your initial problem: Does the increased filehandles make it to the process?
Please inspect with plimit or gcore/mdb. If yes you need investigate why it still fails,
if no you need to investigate why it is not passed correctly.


Best regards
