GDB and 64 bit

Hello,

I am trying to get gdb to understand 64 bit applications. I can not
compile gdb with a configuration option (that is configure
--host=sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8). So I have gone in and replaced gcc with
gcc -m64 and ld with ld -64 (Solaris ld). gdb will now open the
executable, however, it will not break and I have seen it print out
variables in both 64 bit and 32 bit. I am not exactly sure why it is
doing both 1:) printing out 64 and 32 bit code and 2:) why it will not
break.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
