Problem is (AIUI) that doing that would remove ptrace functionality completely.
With the patch applied, ptrace is implemented as a 'personality' of utrace.

So. If it doesn't work for sparc32 and we cannot simply disable it via .config, we should stick with ifnarch-ing it for now /me thinks. Maybe some good kernel-hacker can have a look into it.

Working out a patch, so we can disable utrace by .config and automatically enabling ptrace would be the best way!?
