[PATCH] Improve and consolidate sparc PIC assembler.

[Mark Ashley]

Hey folks,

I'm trying to get gmp 5.1.1 compiled on a Solaris 10 SPARC zone, it's
giving compilation problems which seem related to this topic:

# as -V

# gmake --version
GNU Make 3.82

My compile steps:
    cd /var/tmp
    rm -rf gmp-5.1.1
    xz -dc /usr/local/src/gnu/gmp-5.1.1.tar.xz | gtar -xvf -
    cd gmp-5.1.1
    /bin/perl -pe 's#xarch=v9#m64#' -i configure
    setenv M4 /usr/local/bin/m4
    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
    gmake

The error is the fbe output at the end:

I just read through the thread with this topic but couldn't see anything
conclusive I should try, since it's already patched up to 118683-10. Any
assistance most welcome :) I'm hoping it's not related to me substituting
-m64 to shut up the compiler.

Thanks,
Mark.
