Normally it's specified in the environment; so maybe CFLAGS="-mcpu=v9"
./configure…

Maybe, the fact that it detected 'sparc64' probably is more a case of
telling the build system that the system is big-endian, requires that
data structures be 64-bit aligned, etc.  Use of features that weren't in
the first SPARC is an optional extra.

same part of the world.
