[Crash-utility] [PATCH V3 0/3] sparc64 support for crash utility

[Dave Anderson]

Dave,

I'm about to check your stuff in, but one additional item needs to be added
to configure.c for the crash.spec file.  What's the proper sparc64 name string
that should be added to the "ExclusiveArch:" list?

Thanks,
  Dave
