   Hmm, then something is really fishy, look at the assembler command
   line:
   
    /opt/contrib/binutils-2.12.1/bin/as --traditional-format -V -Qy -s
    -xarch=v8plusa -o /var/tmp//ccAgaiuN.o /var/tmp//ccvfJa4R.s

Terminology problem.

What Sun refers to as "v9" is what GCC would call "v9 + 64-bit
pointers".  What we call v9 in GCC is just the ability to use all the
float registers in v9 plus execute the v9 instructions, Sun calls
this "v8plus".
