I don't understand this.  ld.*_so is a dynamic linker.  While it can
be cross-compiled, how do you expect it to cross-link?  If it's
cross-compiled, it still needs to issue the proper iflush instructions
there is potential corruption.

If you can generate a SPARC binary containing SPARC instructions, why
can't you generate an iflush instruction?  If you're not generating a
SPARC binary with SPARC instructions, how do you expect it to work as
a dynamic linker?
