I never said it needed to be rejected, I just said add #if's around it, which was
contructive and solved both problems. You cannot have it in regmach64.h even with
the #if's around it for sparc, I tried it and it wont pick it up for some reason.

Please just have it to where it stays in mach64im.c with #ifdef __sparc__ around
it.
