You shouldn't need to build on all machines. For 32-Bit builds, building
on build8x and build8s is sufficient. For 64-Bit builds you would need
build10x also.

For 32-Bit builds only rare cases like top make it necessary to build on
all releases IIRC.

In general: Don't ignore it. This warning comes from checkpkg because
V8+ binaries shouldn't go into our packages.

See http://opencsw.org/standards/build:
If you are using newer compilers than studio8, you must specify
-xarch=v8, otherwise it will generate code that will not run on some of
the older, yet still supported, sparc platforms.

Usually GAR sets the right -xarch via CFLAGS for you. If CFLAGS is
ignored / overridden by the software you are trying to build you need to
work around it.

In your case the module looks fine (just built it myself) and checkpkg
just needs a small tweak to deal with packages that don't have a bin
directory. So this time, ignore it. ;)
