On 2.0 that's no longer neccessary as it now selects code suitable for
the CPU automatically, like i386 automatically uses native 387 code
or software FP depending on the hardware.

See "ldd /bin/ls":

/bin/ls: 
	-lc.12 => /lib/libsparc_v8.so.0
		       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	-lc.12 => /lib/libc.so.12

An ssh2 login to my router (75MHz SuperSPARC-II) takes about 12
seconds, which is not great, but tolerable.
