sure they can... it just requires special options i'm sure you
know all about.  :)

in general our 32 bit userland does not use v9, but there's nothing
stopping someone building their userland with eg "-mcpu=ultrasparc
-m32" options, which will generate code that won't run on a v7/v8
cpu.  (to be honest, i'm not convinced that the netbsd32 compat
libraries now shipped with sparc64 aren't built like this.)
