Bug#256347: openoffice.org-bin: sparc32plus shared library but no normal sparc file

["Jim Watson" <jim@amarooas.com.au>]

I prefer the two versions of libsal, i will see if someone can help find the
switch, which is described in the comments in interlck_sparc.s.
I think we need this anyway, since it will not build the v8 version as it is
expecting v9
