I think that's inappropriate. it does not work on x86 as well as it does on
sparc.
unless you can say "x86 xterm needs to install this patch to work right",
i think you should either remove the "broken" feature code from the x86
side, or possibly standardize both sparc and x86 to have lesser
capabilities that basically always work.
