OOps, you are right :-)
Is it possible that I confused this with Linux an Alpha?
GCC was not 64 bit clean until GCC-3.x If you compiles a GCC-2.x you did
get more than 10000 warnings for bad printf format strings and people have been
very upset for not being able to use gcc to compile 64 bit sparc binaries.
