While gcc compilation on sparc is rare I'm not sure that simply
deleting the sparc-only option unconditionally is the right thing to
do.
I thought about that too. But I was unable to find info on OpenJDK +
SPARC + Linux. Is that combination even supported? The README doesn't
list it:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html#MBE
Linux-sparc is not one of Oracle's supported OpenJDK platforms. However
AFAIK there are people in the community building OpenJDK on Linux-sparc
using the Zero interpreter. I don't know if this would affect them but
it still seems to me that we should be careful not to break other
people's builds.

The option seemed more like a relic from Solaris + SPARC config rather
than a requirement for Linux + SPARC.

Hi,
JDK builds currently fail with GCC 4.7 due to its stricter option
checking.
GCC 4.6 and prior ignored invalid options -- GCC 4.7 does not. Certain
files in JDK supply the -mimpure-text option to GCC. This option is only
valid on SPARC[1,2]. As a result, GCC 4.7 throws an error during build
on Linux (I suppose .
This patch removes the option:

If OK for push, please feel free to do so (I don't have commit access).
