-The SPARC V8 backend is still beta quality software. Unless you are working on
-the SPARC V8 backend, you should specify sparcv9 on the configure command line,

+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>).
