games/fifengine's Makefile has the line:

> BROKEN-sparc64 =out of memory when compiling fifePYTHON_wrap.cxx

Which was added in a commit with this message:

> Don't try building fifengine on archs that will definitely run out
> of memory.

I can build it on my sparc64 box with no issue if I remove the
BROKEN-*. I guess if it uses more than 4 GB of memory, 32 bit
architectures can't possibly build it, so it being BROKEN on i386 is
probably accurate.

But there's nothing stopping someone with enough RAM from building
this on sparc64, so why is it marked as BROKEN?
