Thanks to everyone's suggestions. It has been very insightful on how 
libtool works. I am now able to compile my applications for 64bit Solaris.

With the insight that I received from this exercise, I was wondering if 
any thought had been given to dynamicly creating the libtool shell 
script as part of the configuration of a package. With GCC being able to 
support 32bit and 64bit compilations, it would be nice if libtool would 
have the same or similar flexibility. I do recognize that libtool has 
the additional complication that it has to make decisions based on the 
compiler being used to compile the application.

Thanks,
Ed
