Actually you might find it better to try and merge the O/S specific parts of 
sunos_sun4u_f77 with the flags of linux_amd64_sunf90 which uses the Express 
Release of the Sun Studio compilers for Linux. That way you should be able to 
get 64bit executables that make better use of Opteron and Woodcrest chips.
