The testsuite ensures that the binary is fully working and the step between file installation
and package creation. Failing tests could either mean there is a problem in the software or
that there is a problem with the testsuite on the platform. Figuring this out can be a difficult
task which I will probably not tackle for PHP for fun.

> Can i install x64 packages from OpenCSW? it is look like all packages "Apache24", "Nginx".... are x86 only.

In general you can run 32 bit binaries on 64 bit Solaris due to the fact that
64 bit kernel also supports the 32 bit ABI. Some packages like Apache 2.4 and Nginx
are present in 32 and 64 bit. You can activate it with
  svccfg -s cswapache24 setprop general/enable_64bit = true

For nginx you need to edit /etc/opt/csw/cswnginx to use the binary in bin/{sparcv9|amd64}/nginx
for 64 bit.
