I went ahead and made Leo's change and it built.  Also, I bit the
bullet and used the blastwave compiler.  However, I still get
segfaults trying to run sparc-test on qemu-system-sparc from my
sparc/solaris box.  Is this a known issue?  Also happens with mips.

Well, at least my gcc defines __sparc_v9__ if cpu is either v9, ultrasparc
or ultrasparc3:
%{mcpu=v9:-D__sparc_v9__} %{mcpu=ultrasparc:-D__sparc_v9__}
%{mcpu=ultrasparc3:-D__sparc_v9__}

This is from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-linux/3.3.5/specs. What does your
compiler define, as you still can compile the RDTICK instruction in the
#ifdef section? RDTICK is not available on V8 (Sparc32) architecture, only
on V9.
