The Wiki appears to be out-of-date on that, it says that only sparcv8  
was supported but in fact sparcv8 seems to be dropped in favor of  
sparcv9.
Or at least compiling/running it under Debian Etch on QEMU Sparc32  
fails with illegal instructions such as membar, and sparc-codegen.h  
has provisions for v9/64-bit.
