Thanks, Andrew!

Once I jogged my memory, I remembered that the db4 patches originated 
from me -- I was running an SS20 at the time as my home server, and 
Netatalk needed db4. I don't remember why I did not at the time submit 
the patches to the PR, but some time later the SM71s got flaky (cache 
memory errors), and I switched to a Macintosh B/W G3 which didn't have 
issues with db4.

Bottom line: The sparc v[78] mutex patches are tested, and we just 
needed to make sure that the patch set was intact - thanks for 
verifying.

Cheerio,
Hauke
