Looks bogus to me like the 2 other testcases.

This is a real failure at -O2, caused by a bad iteraction between the old loop
optimizer and the insn cost settings in the SPARC back-end. But it's not a
regression in the 4.x series. Of course it will be gone in 4.2 and later.
I wrote a patch for the back-end at some point, but the problem is really in
the old loop optimizer. I think we can simply mark it as XFAIL on SPARC.

The -fpic/-fPIC failures are a little annoying but other platforms probably
have similar glitches, so we can live with them (I personally don't test
with -fpic/-fPIC so I have only the above 2 failures in my logs).
Results on other versions of Solaris are on par with those on Solaris 10.
