I did once see some software that failed to build for me because it
probed for a compiler option -mcpu=ultrasparc, but, if the compiler
accepted it, decided it was correct to use it.  Of course, this
exploded on a non-UltraSPARC SPARC.

This leads me to wonder if perhaps someone got sloppy in some related
respect?  Not that particular mistake, presumably, but perhaps
something along analogous lines?  I don't know what SPARC models have
any coprocessors implemented....
