On ultrasparc, uname returns "sparc64". Even though we use a 32bit
userland, some configure scripts mistakenly assumed this meant "64bit
userland". So I implemented this to fool those scripts on the buildd. It
is ancient (I thought it was already removed), and is superceded by the
sparc32/sparc64 personality changing programs that do it the right way
(down to the kernel level).
Kill it.
