It's that "given the right combination" part that causes the problem.
A 32-bit kernel can't run a 64-bit binary, even if the latest ultrasparc
chip and the latest solaris are in use.  If `isainfo` doesn't include
sparcv9, then we need to treat 64-bit solaris like any other cross-compile;
the hardware becomes irrelevent.
