Right, I wrote that. But it is taken a bit out of context. From the
rest of the message it should be clear that I was much in favour of
the solution with the __sparc64__ test only. (Which the Gentoo Sparc
team had tested under FreeBSD, under GNU/Linux, and under one Solaris
variant.)
Whereas the patch with the additional test for FreeBSD was a second
choice only, but of course preferred against not applying the patch at
all.
