Thanks, Bart, I'll look into moe, however, I'm still looking for a solution 
that may be a bit less platform-specific. moe also doesn't seem to be available 
on Solaris releases before 10. What I am looking for, though, seems to be 
impossible after looking at the 'as' man page:

"    -xarch=v8plus

         This option instructs the assembler to  accept  instruc-
         tions  defined  in  the  SPARC-V9 architecture, less the
         quad-precision floating-point instructions. The  result-
         ing object code is in ELF format. It will not execute on
         a Solaris V8 system (a machine with a V8 processor).  It
         will  execute  on a Solaris V8+ system. This combination
         is a SPARC 64-bit processor and a 32-bit OS."

Perhaps there is some undocumented option that will prevent the ELF from being 
tagged? This seems worthy of being an RFE.
