SSS: you are of course correct and M. Gauthier is misinformed
with the respect to the optimization of Solaris for Merced.
Here is the very first paragraph of the Sun/Intel 12/97 press release announcing Solaris Merced:


SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 16, 1997 -- Sun Microsystems, Inc., and Intel Corporation today announced that they are cooperating to optimize Sun's Solaris operating environment for Intel's future Merced processor. Sun will deliver a 64-bit optimized version of the Solaris software for Merced at the time of Merced-based system availability, expected in 1999.

The full text of the release is at:

My opinions are very humble, but this is publicly available information.
