It depends on why these R_SPARC_UA32 things are being emitted. If gcc
can avoid emitting them, then the autoconf check should set some
#define so that they never get emitted.
If they cannot be avoided, then the autoconf test should abort the
configure, indicating that either a later binutils should be used,
or the native as & ld used. Warning in this situation is unacceptable,
as we know the resultant compiler will not be useable.
