However, we ran into a problem compiling krb5-1.3.4 on Solaris 8 for
64bit, trying to use the recommended 'CFLAGS=-m64' with gcc. It turned
out that in src/lib/crypto/aes, there appears to be an error in
Makefile.in. When we changed
$(CC) -o aes-gen aes-gen.o $(GEN_OBJS)
to
$(CC_LINK) -o aes-gen aes-gen.o $(GEN_OBJS)
the compile worked OK. As it was originally, the 'CFLAGS=-m64'
specification on configure was not being honored.
I don't know if this has been fixed in versions later than 1.3.4.
Mike
