I'm looking for a definitive answer, does Solaris 10 running on a SPARC machine support booting into 32bit mode?

I've found one site that states Solaris 8 was the last version that supported booting in a 32bit mode for SPARC.

I've read multiple items that explain how to boot Solaris into 32bit mode, however they did not list the Solaris version. We've tried all the ways specified, but the system keeps booting into 64bit mode.

When I pass compiler flag "-mmacosx-version-min=10.5", what does it mean? I think it implies the result binary is x86, not ppc, but is it 32 bits or 64 bits? I'm compiling on snow leopard, so default output binary is 64 bits. I'm not passing -universal, it's not 32bit-64bit universal binary, I think. >>> More
