The previous spkg-install did unset MAKE, but I put a note there that
this might not be appropiate and removed that. I've noticed a lot of
things which seem to have been left over and not appropiate. This one
seems I was wrong.

I have already produced a package which has this unset again. I am
stuck at a railways station now, and don't have time to check it over,
but I will create a new .spkg which fixes that and some other issues
I'm aware of.

which case, I suspect the fact it is 32-bit will have little effect
unless one wished to alloate a lot of memory. Most programs in Solaris
are compiled as 32-bit, despite this being a 64-bit OS. It is
generally faster, since as pointers are smaller, and so more can be
fitted into the cache. 64-bit code does have its disadvantages.
