	! "cas" only works on sparcv9 and sparcv8plus chips, and
	! requies a compiler targeting these CPUs.  It will fail
	! on a compiler targeting sparcv8, and of course will not
	! be understood by a sparcv8 CPU.  gcc continues to use
	! "ldstub" because it targets sparcv7.
	!
	! There is actually a trick for embedding "cas" in a 
	! sparcv8-targeted compiler, but it can only be run
	! on a sparcv8plus/v9 cpus:
