Re: fixing Makefile.shlib for solaris/gcc with -m64 flag - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

simple if I use -m64 for 64 bit then all end binaries are generated 64-bit and the shared libraries 
are generated 32-bit and the compilation fails (ONLY ON SOLARIS) since that particular line is only 
for the condition Solaris AND gcc.

If I use the COMPILER which is CC + CFLAGS it passes -m64 properly to it and generates shared 
libraries 64-bit and the compile continues..

I just tested it out.
