AFAICT by checking through config.gcc there is no difference between
sparc64-solaris2.* and sparcv9-solaris2.*, so I don't know why we have
both.

I've tested both targets on solaris2.7 with 3.2.3-pre just to be sure,
and I get zero unexpected g++ failures even when cycling through extra
options:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2003-03/msg01534.html

I'd be interested to hear what the reason is for having both.  If
someone can confirm they are redundant, IMO we should nuke one to
avoid confusion like this.
