[Box Backup] OpenBSD sparc64 and hppa platforms

[Ben Summers]

Just reporting back on these platforms...

1) hppa : with the modified build system and correction of a small link 
order issue with static libraries, it appears to work.

2) sparc64 : the C++ compiler seems to have a bit of a bug which 
prevents compiling C++ code which uses exceptions. There is a simple 
test case below... I'm not entirely sure who this should be reported 
to.

Thanks to Vrou and Ben for accounts on their machines so I could play 
around!
