Much more works now.  xep-allocate-frame appears to be working and
we actually reach GLOBALDB-INIT.

Haven't verified all the vops yet, but things look promising.  In addition,
we can successfully compile files with :trace-file t which makes it much
easier to examine what code is being generated for each function.

Static symbol objects appear to be correct.  The addresses
seem right, and the contents of the object appear to contain
the correct items, as determined by usring C print() to
print the objects.

Support for 64-bit cores.

Cross compile works and sparc can at least load the core file
and get to call_into_lisp to try running the initial function.

Currently fails because we don't have the v9 stack bias
implemented.

First changes for 64-bit build.

word-bits updated to 64.  Updated new-genesis to byte-swap 64-bit
values if needed.

Updates to Config to build 64-bit binary, but with abs32 memory
model (for now).

Cross-compile works and lisp compiles, but loading world fails.

Fasl file type set to sparc64f and updated fasl file
implementation number.

Successfully cross-compiled and the resulting build installs
and runs all tests successfully.

Cross-compile from x86 to sparc64 works

Of course, this is still just a plain sparc 32 build, but
this means things are in good shape for real sparc64 work.

What happened: On darwin:

bin/create-target.sh sparc64-xtarget sparc64_sunc
bin/create-target.sh sparc64-xcross sparc64_sunc
bin/cross-build-world.sh -c sparc64-xtarget/ sparc64-xcross/  src/tools/cross-scripts>/cross-x86-sparc64.lisp cmulisp

Then

tar cjf sparc64.tar.bz2 sparc64-xtarget
ssh sparc64.tar.bz2 <smalltalk>

On smalltalk:
tar xjf sparc64.tar.bz2
bin/rebuild-lisp.sh sparc64-xtarget
bin/load-world -p sparc64-xtarget
bin/build.sh -b sparc64 -C sparc64_sunc -o sparc64-xtarget/lisp/lisp

When this is finished, install it somewhere and do bin/run-tests.sh
using the new binary.  All tests passed.
