This could mean mean incorrect code is generated which cause the resulting 
compiler not to crash but generate even more incorrect code. The Sparc 
code generator needs to be checked for bugs.

This is unfortunate because as we are really close to freezing 2.2.0 it'll 
be hard to get a fix in time.
