The assembler lives with the Studio compilers as fbe, but once in a while that version is backported (or provided as a patch) as /usr/ccs/bin/as. For Solaris 10, the latest SPARC assembler patch, 118683-08, includes -xarch=sparc4 support, rev. -07 didn't. At least in Solaris 11.1, as does as well, not completely sure about Solaris 11 where it may have only been introduced in an SRU (support repository update).
