In the very early kernel 1.x days, assembler files were pre-processed with the "-traditional" flag. With kernel 1.1.85, the sparc subsystem was changed to use "-ansi" instead while the other parts of the kernel continued to use "-traditional". That "-traditional" got removed from the other architectures in the course of time, but the sparc part kept the "-ansi" until today. This is bad since it comes with some disadvantages nowadays: You have to make sure to not include any header that contains a "//" C++ comment by accident (there are now some in the tree that use these for SPDX identifiers for example), and with "-ansi" we also do not get the pre-defined __ASSEMBLER__ macro which we'd like to use instead of the kernel-only __ASSEMBLY__ macro in the future. Since there does not seem to be any compelling reason anymore to use "-ansi" nowadays, let's simply drop the "-ansi" flag from the sparc subsystem now to get rid of those disadvantages.
