Doesn't that contradict with what the patch does?

-#if defined __arm__ || defined __ARM__ || defined ARM || defined __ARM ||
defined __arm || defined __ARM_ARCH ||defined __aarch64__ ||( defined(__sun)
&& defined(__SVR4))
+#if defined __arm__ || defined __ARM__ || defined ARM || defined __ARM ||
defined __arm || defined __ARM_ARCH ||defined __aarch64__ ||defined __sparc__
||( defined(__sun) && defined(__SVR4))

This merely adds a test for the SPARC architecture, but still keeps the
special case for Solaris. Hence it will still enable alignment on Solaris/x86.
