It's not about features.
It's about the fact that Solaris's assembler uses different
section attribute specifiers than any other ELF assembler
in the world.
That's the only reason the override exists.
So we really, and truly, want to test whether we are using
GAS or not.
Basically, the only configuration that should be using the
sparc target override function is Solaris without GAS.
