So what: I simply disagree with Richard here.

Not true: SPARC V9 CPUs can run in 32-bit mode (and even if running in
64-bit mode can execute 32-bit binaries), our sparcv9-sun-solaris2*
configurations simply build a 64-bit gcc binary which defaults to
generating 64-bit code, but can still generate 32-bit code with the -m32
switch.
