Thanks for the update!

To build sun3_defconfig and m5475evb_defconfig cleanly, you need to
include the (Gmail-whitespace-damaged) changes below.
These were compile-tested only.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
