Currently, configure.in makes an assumption that we are compiling for a UltraSPARC CPU when compiling on a Sun/sparc box.
Of course, code with the SPARCv8+ instructions will not run on CPUs that do not support them, and these include all our old SPARC friends.
This patch adds checking (via 'uname -m') for the arch we are running on. If it's the older sparc systems (sun4, sun4c, sun4m, sun4d, sun4t) then do not force the "-xarch=v8plus" flag for 'as'. If it is something other than the aformentioned (sun4u, etc), include it.

hi Dale.
i like the idea.
what I'm going to do is make the older machines just use the 'generic' version and set a #define which will work it that way.
the 'cas' function isn't available in the v7 chipset
