[MITgcm-support] Porting MITgcm to Solaris x64

[william aiken]

Constantinos,

 Thank you for these suggestions! I am building and running 32 bit
binaries for the 44 cases where results/output.txt exists. When that
finishes, I will build 64 bit binaries and repeat the tests.

I am also building MITgcm on Solaris SPARC.

Do you know if these 44 cases test most of the MITgcm logic?

Thanks,

Bill
