The SPARC V8 ABI support is more robust than the V9 ABI support and can generate
SPARC V9 code. It is highly recommended that you use the V8 ABI with LLVM, as
shown below. Also,
note that Solaris has trouble with various wide (multibyte) character
functions from C as referenced from C++, so we typically configure with
--disable-c-mbchar (cf. <a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/PR206">Bug 206</a>).
