The current GNUstep tree should build fine on solaris 8->10 with gcc, I 
use opencsw's gcc 4.x, need to check the actual version. There were 
several details to fix, so I wonder that it works for you on an old tree 
(or it is really old, I used to check solaris 7 almost 2 years ago!). 
Back then, I failed to build the 64bit versions though because of 
problems in a library.

It should be a matter of specifying the 64bit sparc achitecture as the 
compiler flag.
