Although it will be quite a lot of hassle to me, I'd think we should not
export in on sparc64 either.
But if we hide it there, then we should as well go for GLIBC_2.2 being the
first supported version on sparc64 (I have not done that because I wanted to
keep my debugger/compiler and other 64bit stuff running, but I'll probably
just keep the older glibc somewhere around and use LD_LIBRARY_PATH until I
recompile everything and even then from time to time if I'll be chasing
which gcc versions broke certain testcases).
