Adding it to the Makefiles would work only if the Makefile can, with
*all* versions of make (not just GNU make), test whether the build is
being done on SPARC or not.

Doing it in the configure script might work better.

However, it'd be interesting to see how much of a difference it makes,
if any - it might affect various decryption and checksumming functions,
but it might not affect the rest of Ethereal much.
