Ok, how about we replace the random instruction detection with an
explicit forced illegal instruction test early in the sparc init code
that makes sure the SIGILL facility is working properly?

That is, we'll unconditionally and always generate a SIGILL every time
openssl is used.

I'm perfectly fine with that, but you guys will be in the same
position you are now, having to cope with the debugger issue.
