Thanks. While I was at it, I had a quick look at the other sparc tests
in configure.ac:
Solaris as GNU as insn version
HAVE_AS_RELAX_OPTION 00 1
HAVE_AS_OFFSETABLE_LO10 00 1
HAVE_AS_FMAF_HPC_VIS3 1 1 fmaddd 2.22
HAVE_AS_SPARC4 1 1 aes_kexpand0 2.23.1
HAVE_AS_SPARC5_VIS4 1 1 subxc 2.25
HAVE_AS_SPARC6 1 1 fpsll64x 2.29
HAVE_AS_LEON 00 1 casa 2.20.1
The 4 in the middle are all supported by Solaris as and gas >= 2.29.
Maybe the checks can be dropped at some point, too? I wonder which gas
version we can expect/require these days.
