When you modify COMPILE_ARCH to x86_64, you should also modify HOSTCFLAGS to
include -m64. We can set HOSTCC/HOSTCFLAGS with '?=' assignment for this
purpose, in Config.mk. Or, perhaps better, you can set both COMPILE_ARCH and
HOSTCC/HOSTCFLAGS as you like in config/SunOS.mk based on XEN_TARGET_ARCH,
if that's always the sane thing to do on Solaris.
