%g7 is used by the Solaris thread library, so don't use -fcall-used-g7
in multithreaded programs (which includes any program using XIL in
Solaris 2.6).
-mcpu=ultrasparc will enable the V9 floating point instructions and
should improve performance on an Ultra; code compiled with this switch
will not run on older SPARCs.
