Description:
MySQL 6.0.6 on 32 bit SPARC is built with support for SPARC V8. This is done by specifying -xarch=v8 to configure.

As far as I know we do not need to support SPARC V8 for MySQL 6.0. At least for compiling Falcon on Solaris 9 it will be neccessary to at least build for v8plus as the architecture.

How to repeat:
Download MySQL 6.0.6 for Solaris 9 and see the configure and compiler commands used.

Suggested fix:
For SPARC 32bit releases: build with -xarch=v8plus

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

This has been fixed. When compiling 5.5 and 5.6 for 32 bit SPARC, the executables are compiled SPARC v8plus architecture.
