I'm puzzled by this, there are actually a very large number of
(something like 10) 64-bit Solaris targets in the regular Tachyon Make-
arch file.  Have you looked within the Make-arch file?  I would be
curious to know what you needed that wasn't there.
I'm happy to share my pre-release sources for the next Tachyon so
people can give me feedback and I can address any issues that linger
here.

Cheers,
  John
