No, it is not: the Solaris/x86 as has .value instead of .word, as I
mentioned when referring to the various definitions of ASM_SHORT in the
i386 configurations.

While gas is recommended for Solaris 10/x86 and above for amd64 support,
until your patch to use .word the native as worked fine for 32-bit only
configurations (both on Solaris 10 and before where there is no amd64
support to care about), so the use of .word introduced a regression from
4.0.
