The following (1 of 1) components have potential stability problems:

   libmlib_image_v.so (sparcv8+ binary)

Summary of various warnings:

 - sparcv8+ binary (1 binaries)

   SPARC V8+ binaries. General usage of V8+ objects is discouraged, as
   these objects are not portable to SPARC V8 and earlier machines. If
   you intend for this type of object to be used only on SPARC V9
   hardware, consider recompiling it as a 64-bit program (-xarch=v9), to
   take full advantage of all the features of SPARC V9 and UltraSPARC.

(The limitations of V8+ are explained in "The V8+ Technical
Specification", part number 802-7447, available through your Sun
representative.)
