[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #3860] Some Sparc build configurations for gcc use deprecated -mv8

Some build configurations for gcc on Sparc use the outdated gcc switch -mv8.

The switch was deprecated at least back for gcc 2.95.2 in October 1999 
([1][2]). GCC 4 does no longer support the -mv8 switch but instead now 
you have to use the switch that was already preferred for version 
2.95.2: -mcpu=v8 ([3]).

Please replace all occurrences of "-mv8" in Configure (Release branches) 
resp. Configurations/10-main.conf (master) with -mcpu=v8.

Thanks,

Rainer
