You'd need to do something about adapting src/backend/port/tas/solaris_i386.s
to amd64, and then change the part of s_lock.h that mentions Solaris/386
to also accept x86_64 not just __i386. Also see src/template/solaris
which controls configure's determination of which tas file is needed.

It's possible that the assembly code would work as-is on amd, in which
case you'd just need a one-liner change in s_lock.h and maybe some
adjustment of the template file.

Please send a patch if you fix this.
