[Gm2] 64-bit code on Solaris/sparc

I have been compiling gm2 with the "-m64" option (or rather, its equivalent option of sparc64) in the belief that 64-bit code would be better on a 64-bit machine (UltraSPARC, often simply written sparc). I found a comment by a senior Solaris compiler writer at Oracle indicating that 64-bit code gives little advantage in i32lp64 models (which is the gm2-built-on-gcc model). The commentary is here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-dev/best- options-344699.html

So I am reconsidering the 64-bit option in favour of the 32-bit option.
