Bug#256347: (No subject header)

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

Thomas,

I would like to do this with minimal deviation from the standard code and 
packaging.

We have been shipping the v8 version already but build with v8+ because of 
that unused asm code. So we should ifdef out the v9 code and build with v8 
like _every_ other library is built. I will try and build one next weekend.
 
For linux sparc only, the v8+/v9 code for linux sparc could be in a separate 
tiny library which is not linked at runtime unless it is actually called. Is 
such a thing possible? How could it be done?
