Which binutils are that and how they were configured?
Cannot reproduce it here (sparc64-redhat-linux, configured with
sparc-redhat-linux --enable-targets sparc64-linux):

[root@tucnak /root]# as --version
GNU assembler 2.9.5

[root@tucnak /root]# echo '.xword foo' | as -Av9a -64
[root@tucnak /root]# ls -l a.out
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          792 Nov 29 23:15 a.out
