Not a bug. Current gcc-3.2/gcc-3.3 on sparc is geared toward a default
v8 hwmul target (e.g. real sun4m's and up). The reason being that the
old v7/v8softmul was bringing performance down noticably (and I mean
visually being able to measure small task differences).
I announced probably 6 months or more ago that this would happen, so it
should be no surprise.
sun4c and sun4m-softmul owners should stick with woody.
