The only difference here is that Sparc uses strncmp to match
compatibility
names while PowerPC uses strncasecmp.
Could we put a comment in saying that both should really just use
strcmp(), and that this mechanism should go away once any
compatibility
issues are found and addressed?
The PowerPC one will need to drop the 'n' soon, as well, but that
should
be a separate patch.
I think both of these are on enough to-do lists that adding
a comment isn't necessary ;-)
