This is the triplet I get for my 64 bit build:

checking build system type... i386-pc-solaris2.10
checking host system type... i386-pc-solaris2.10

These are the flags I set which are also inherited in the gettext-runtime
subinvocation:

'CC=/opt/csw/bin/gcc-5.5' 'CFLAGS=-O2 -pipe -fno-omit-frame-pointer -m64 
-march=opteron' 'LDFLAGS=-m64 -march=opteron -L/opt/csw/lib/64' 
'CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/csw/include' 'CXX=/opt/csw/bin/g++-5.5' 'CXXFLAGS=-O2 -pipe 
-fno-omit-frame-pointer -m64 -march=opteron'

Nope, neither —host nor —cache-file, but what differs is that I pass -m64 in 
CFLAGS
and not as part of CC.
