I haven't looked at the changes in question, but autosetup is explicitly designed to not support run-time tests. The problem is that as soon as you cross compile, these tests do not work. If at all possible, a compile-time test is preferred. Perhaps as simple as always using this setting when targeting openbsd/sparc64.
