This is a bug report for perl from apritchard@​zeus.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.10.1.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
When building on Solaris 10 multiple warnings are produced saying​:

  Warning​: -xarch=generic64 is deprecated, use -m64 to create 64-bit
programs

This is because the config script hints/solaris_2.sh uses the values
returned by getconf which are incorrect for newer versions of Sun's
compiler. I believe they are correct for earlier versions, but do not
have a system to test this on. The following change to solaris_2.sh
checks that the compiler produces this warning, and if so updates the
flags to the correct values​:

Thank you. Applied as b641685.

The RT System itself - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

@cpansprout - Status changed from 'open' to 'resolved'

@jandubois - Status changed from 'resolved' to 'open'

Unfortunately this commit changes a harmless warning into a build
failure, making me wonder how it was actually tested.
