While the advantages of sparc64-sun-solaris2.* are limited, I don't think we
should remove it now since it can handle more memory and 64-bit computing is
becoming the norm.
Similarly, I think adding a 64-bit compiler on x86 would be desirable. And it
would be faster than the 32-bit one because of the 64-bit ABI. As a matter of
fact, we already have the few required patches at AdaCore.
