Do you have 64 bit support when compiling C programs?
On SPARC and other platforms, you must supply the --with-multilib option
to the configure script. This will build all supported variants of the
compiler (32 and 64 on SPARC).

I may be wrong here, but I don't think the Ada part of gcc supports 64
bit. That is my experience when trying to compile with gcc.
There are a few static settings which use 32 bit only.
I imagine if one replace 32 with 64 in system.ads interesting things
would start to happen... Only for the  bravest to try... ;-)
