I assume the above comment by Samuel referred to Robert's:

I don't know for sure (I haven't installed a Solaris system myself since
Solaris 8, which was many years ago), but my (unconfirmed) understanding
is that Sun/Oracle Solaris and OpenSolaris/Indiana still do not
pre-install a C compiler. However, they appear to provide both
Sun Studio / Oracle Solaris Studio and gcc compilers (and their
prerequisites) via package repositories. This is different from the
situation that we had a while ago, where Sun Studio (or its prior
incarnations) and/or gcc had to be downloaded manually (from Sun and
from Sunfreeware, respectively). The manual download + install approach
is still supported, but now there's also the package repository approach.
For Indiana, this gives some specific instructions:
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/download/Project+indiana/WebHome/indiana%2Ddev%2Dstartup%2Dguide.pdf
The commands to use may be like:
pkg install SUNWgcc
pkg install sunstudioexpress
...after initial configuration of the package repository access (see the
PDF file above).
For Oracle's Solaris 11, this is probably different but similar.
64-bitness is not mentioned explicitly in the "documents" I found so
far, but since Solaris itself is being built with some of these
compilers they ought to be able to produce 64-bit binaries.
I hope this helps.
Robert - Thank You once again for your "custom builds"!
