This is basically setup to fail.

If SPARC64 && COMPAT this option should always be set.  But it's
left as an option the user can still disable in this case down
in init/Kconfig.

This can be triggered very likely on other platforms too.

Can someone take a look at fixing this properly?  Make it something
that is selected on necessary platforms, for example.
