   For performance reason. UltraSPARC is a 64-bit processor, where one
   64-bit store (std) is faster than two 32-bit stores (st). We are
   building a performance library for media applications.

Integer 'std' is deprecated in V9 and runs slower on UltraSparc than
two 'st' stores.  Perhaps you really mean 'stx' integer stores, or
'stdf' double float stores?  The latter you can get with -mv8.
