I did just that:

Nothing bad happened.

I use -mcpu=3Dultrasparc -mvis -Wa,-Av9a -O2

I get assembler errors without it - apparently it's needed for -mvis.
There was one library that didn't like being compiled with -mvis, I
forgot which one though, probably something SSL-related.

Possibly. But I think it's more likely that something in the Xserver
went wrong.

have fun
