winebuild on sparc, RFC

[Austin English]

Howdy,

Out of curiosity, I've been testing compiling Wine on Sparc. I've sent
a few patches to fix a few problems that have crept up over the years.
There are two big bugs left though:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24050
and
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24142

The first blocks running wine, the second blocks building it. For the
second, however, I found an old patch:
http://www.mail-archive.com/wine-devel(a)winehq.org/msg23307.html

and rediffed it to current wine. With it, wine mostly compiles (mshtml
gets a 'Bus error' when compiling, but no gcc warning/error). I'm not
sure if the patch is correct, and I've contacted Eric to ask him to
submit the patch, but didn't receive a reply. If it's correct, I'll
send it in, with his name on it.

So, those of you who know winebuild (or better yet, Sparc), would you
please check the attached patch.

Thanks!
-Austin

It's not correct. Code should go in the text segment.
