I'd just consider that a bug, and send a patch to fix sparc64 if it's broken.
sparc32 appears to have these, and when Thierry sent the patch
to implement them everywhere[1], he said that he tested sparc64 as
well, so either something regressed since then, or his testing
was incomplete. Either way, the correct answer IMHO would be to
make it work rather than to add infrastructure around the broken
configurations.
