PSPP is supposed to be portable to 64-bit architectures and to
big-endian architectures.  In other words, it should work on
sparc64.

In fact, when I build pspp-0.6.1.tar.gz on a Debian sparc machine
(the only sparc I have access to), all the tests pass.

Maybe I need to build some other way?  I didn't pass -m64 to GCC,
should I?

Here is the info on that machine (more general info at
http://db.debian.org/machines.cgi?host=smetana):
