llvm dev - Apr 2010 - [LLVMdev] llvm for freebsd on sparc64

I am trying to build llvm on freebsd-8.0 on sparc64 CPU.
I patched sources because 'sparc' enum value in 
include/llvm/ADT/Triple.h conflicts with gcc typedef 'sparc'.
This allowed llvm itself to build successfully.

But there is an error during gcc frontend compile:
Did not get a target machine! Triplet is sparc64-unknown-freebsd8.0
I think this is because in many places, like in Triple.cpp, architecture 
is named sparc, and not sparc64.

So should all "sparc" strings related to cpu be renamed to
"sparc64", or
"sparc" refers to the very early 32-bit sparcs?
Or 64-bit sparc is refered as "sparc" in llvm?

We typically handle this by adding a "#undef sparc" in various places.
For example see include/llvm/ADT/Triple.h which already has it.  You'll
probably need to add it to another header somewhere.

I can't find any 'undef' lines in include/llvm/ADT/Triple.h though.
So I
guess I should add it.
But my question about "sparc" strings is the major one.
