These are actually two separate issues. Sparclet was an embedded
design bi-endian design from the late 90s. It was dropped as a target
years ago, but the -msparclet option, Sparclet instructions in
sparc.md and the sparclet.md files remained. Sparc little endian
support may have been added to support Windows NT.
