Hello!

When upstream dropped NGC support for SPARC, they also accidentally removed build support
for unregisterised builds by removing sparc* and sparc64* from m4/ghc_convert_cpu.m4 and
m4/fptools_set_haskell_platform_vars.m4 meaning that building on sparc64 is no longer
possible.

The attached patch re-adds sparc and sparc64 to re-enable builds. The problem has also been
reported upstream [1].

Thanks,
Adrian
