What is the C integer model of sparc64?
Apparently, only the kernel is 64bit, so posting the uname string was
misleading. The generated binaries are 32bit binaries, this is also what
gcc generates by default. (-m64 is supported by gcc.)

I notice that we're storing the size_t (hive_value_t) values in
Perl
integers using newSViv.
Both size_t and int are 32 bit values. An endianess issue, maybe?
