Subject: [suse-sparc] 64 bit Kernel 32 bit userland.

    Stupid Question....
    But, The kernel uses 64 bit instructions on Sparc Ultras and the user
    applications use 32 bit instructions, is this because Linux can't support 64
    bit applications or can applications only access a 32 bit address space? So
    how do I know applications I compile are 32 bit or 64 bit?
    Can someone point me at an explanation of what's going on?

    Thanks

    Andrew Hooper
