-Sun @command{as} 4.x is broken in that it cannot cope with long symbol names.
-A typical error message might look similar to the following:
-
-@smallexample

 Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing
 64-bit SPARC V9 binaries.  GCC 3.1 and later properly supports
 this; the @option{-m64} option enables 64-bit code generation.
