Just send a patch to sparclinux, with a proper commit message
that captures the details why it is required.

Please do not wait for me to do it, as that may take a few days
since I have not looked up all the history why it is needed.

In other words, the code change is trivial, it will more
time to explain *why* it is re-introduced.
