Unfortunately those lines *were* introduced for a reason. See the thread at
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2007-08/msg00342.html. In
brief summary, the HOSTCFLAGS mod ensures that Solaris gcc produces 64-bit
binaries when COMPILE_ARCH==x86_64; a sane thing to do you'll agree.
We could move the HOSTCFLAGS modification to config/SunOS.mk. Or to
tools/include/xen-foreign/Makefile. But actually afaict doing it globally in
Config.mk is harmless, it just looks a bit odd and potentially purgable. :-)
