for the record:
the -m64 switch is not supported by the gcc compiler available on my 
Feb/2000 x86 Solaris box, but
exec /opt/sfw/bin/gcc -DFILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 ${1+"$@"}
did the trick
Erlang compiled without errors and large file handling now works like 
it does on FreeBSD
BUT it seems the docs are right: large file support seems to break 
other stuff, resulting in errors not found before, so in the end looks 
like it's better to not enable it
