Both libgomp and libitm already force -mcpu=v9 though (and simply aren't built 
if it cannot be forced) so I don't think we should care about pre-v9 here.

I think the issue is just how we unify the two cpu_relax implementations:

static inline void
cpu_relax (void)
{
#if defined __arch64__ || defined  __sparc_v9__
  __asm volatile ("membar #LoadLoad" : : : "memory");
#else
  __asm volatile ("" : : : "memory");
#endif
}

for libgomp and:

static inline void
cpu_relax (void)
{
  __asm volatile ("rd %%ccr, %%g0" : : : "memory");
}

for libitm.


Would

static inline void
cpu_relax (void)
{
  __asm volatile ("membar #LoadLoad" : : : "memory");
}

be good enough?
