Looking at the kernel setup code for sparc64, support for V8+ seems to be a
standard capability that is available on all 64-bit SPARC targets.
The function init_sparc64_elf_hwcap(void) [1] unconditionally enables it with:
cap |= (AV_SPARC_MUL32 | AV_SPARC_DIV32 | AV_SPARC_V8PLUS);
So, I think it should be safe and enable V8+ on sparc64 for 32-bit targets the
same way it is done on Solaris.
