I'll include this patch in the upcoming 2.6.1-2 upload. Upstream has
rejected that pull request, as they had a different (better?) change to
support sparc64. Given that I don't know all the implications of that
patch
(https://github.com/google/protobuf/commit/97fa4ca1565d216d102af9510b17966c28c7a52a),
I'll just apply this patch until we package 3.x (that commit is included
after 3.0.0 beta 1).

thanks!
